Fisher Freed, But Barred From Work

Former Insurance Commissioner Carroll Fisher will be released from the Oklahoma County jail today, but he can no longer work outside his home, where he must remain unless going to a doctor, visiting his attorney or getting exercise. Fisher was arrested last Wednesday for violating the terms of his appeal bond, and jailed until today. Prosecutors said Fisher traveled without permission from his parole supervisor and sometimes failed to wear an ankle bracelet tracking device as required by the court. Fisher was convicted in February 2006 of embezzlement and perjury and sentenced to three years in prison but had been free while appealing the conviction.
