A local attorney wanted in Texas on sex charges is out of jail.
Kent Baxley was released on $30,000 bond and has until Friday to turn himself into Deer Park Police, near Houston.
Mobile police arrested Baxley Monday on a fugitive warrant for indecency with a child. Deer Park police say Baxley, who is also a former FBI agent, fondled a nine-year-old female relative in November 2004.
Lieutenant Wade Conner with Deer Park Police says there is nothing unusual about allowing Baxley to drive himself to Texas to surrender, even though he was wanted on a fugitive warrant. Conner says if Baxley doesn’t show up for court on Friday, then the bond company will go after him.
