(MURFREESBORO) Kelsey Ketron-Randolph was released from the Rutherford County Adult Detention Center on Friday (11/8/2019) morning. Since her bond was over $50,000, a hearing before a judge was required. That created a logistics issue, because the local DA and staff have recused themselves and Hamilton County DA was named., there was a long-distance issue.

Mrs. Kelsey Ketron-Randolph's representatives have attempted to get her freed on bond, but long-distance court issues created problems since it must be coordinated with a Chattanooga based DA.

Everything was worked out Friday morning and Mrs. Ketron-Randolph was released.

Her attorney Trey Harwell earlier argued that a person has the right not to wait in jail more than a week before there is a hearing. At that point, the courts abided by regulations and the 29 year old woman's freedom was granted.

Deputies accompanied Ketron-Randolph from the jail to a waiting SUV.
