Audio Duration 2 minutes 25 seconds –

Josh briefly describes his experience of the FBI fishing expedition.

After what had to be a tortuous week and half of surveillance, searches, property seizure, arrest and interrogation, Josh Connole will be sleeping in his own bed tonight. Josh who proclaimed his innocence from the beginning was sitting in jail with bail set at $825,000.00 and arraignment scheduled for Tuesday when he was suddenly released this afternoon.

Friends, family and supporters gathering outside the courthouse celebrated the welcomed surprise.
