The 48-year-old was originally scheduled to be released sometime during Martin Luther King Day weekend, but the Bureau of Prisons has a policy of letting inmates go on “the last preceding weekday if their projected release date falls on a weekend or legal holiday.” Prior to his release, according to Vulture, his lawyer Murray Richman said, “He’s looking forward to being home. He’s never been hotter than now — people have been seeking him out all over.”

The father of 15’s sentence includes three years of supervised release, and he must pay back $2,292,200, which was ordered by the federal court.

He’s been arrested on charges of drug possession and animal cruelty, and in 2010 was sentenced to a year in prison for violating terms of his former probation.
