He was to be temporarily released from jail at noon on Dec. 24 and report back to jail on Dec. 26. He was informed that failure to do so would result in a charge of escape from custody.

Larkins did not report back to jail at the stated time; he was later arrested and brought to the Mower County Jail in the early hours of Dec. 31.

For violating probation on his two felony drug sale convictions, Larkins was subsequently sentenced to 51 months in prison and 57 months in prison. He received credit for 176 days served.

The sentences are all concurrent to each other.
