Gov. Jeb Bush's daughter, Noelle was released from jail early Thursday in Orange County, Fla., after serving time for failing to meet the conditions of a drug treatment plan, according to Local 6 News.
Noelle Bush, 24, was released from jail just after 6:30 a.m. and was reportedly met by someone from the Center for Drug-Free Living facility where she was undergoing court-ordered drug treatment.
Bush is scheduled to appear before a judge Friday afternoon. He could order
her to perform community service or give her more jail time.
However, it is expected she will go back to the treatment center, Local 6 News reported.
Bush was arrested in January at a pharmacy drive-through window for trying
to buy Xanax with a fraudulent prescription.
She was admitted to an undisclosed drug treatment center in
February, with the possibility the charges would be dropped if she
successfully completed the program.
Judge Reginald Whitehead sentenced Noelle Bush to three days
behind bars in Orlando for contempt of court. She was taken into
custody following a court hearing.
Gov. Jeb Bush sent an e-mail to
reporters Wednesday notifying them of his daughter's lapse and expressing
sadness.
"My family is saddened to share that our daughter Noelle has
not abided by the conditions of her drug court treatment plan,''
Bush wrote. "Unfortunately, this happens to many individuals even
as they continue their journey to full recovery."
