A man who was released from federal custody this summer after his sentence was commuted by then-President Joe Biden is in the Boone County Jail.
Malcolm Redmon, 42, of Columbia, is being held at the Boone County Jail without bond on a U.S. Marshal hold, jail records indicate.
Capt. Brian Leer, with the Boone County Sheriff’s Office told ABC 17 News Saturday afternoon that Redmon is being held on a federal detainer based on violation of probation. Leer said the Columbia Police Department took Redmon into custody.
All other information will have to come from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri, Leer said, as they are the ones who issued the warrant.
Redmon was sentenced to more than 24 years in prison in 2016 after pleading guilty to being involved in a cocaine-selling ring in Mid-Missouri from 2011-14. Redmon was one of 27 people arrested in 2014 throughout Missouri and Illinois.
He was one of nearly 2,500 people convicted of nonviolent drug charges to have their sentence commuted by former Biden. He was released from federal custody on July 16.
A family member of Redmon had told ABC 17 News last month that Redmon was in a vocational program. A June 23 filing shows he had to reside in and complete a residential reentry center program until “until discharged by the center director after consultation with the Probation Office, for a period not to exceed 120 days.”
Federal authorities accused him of being the leader of the operation, claiming he directed sales and converted the cocaine to crack.
ABC 17 News has reached out to the Columbia Police Department, Boone County Sheriff’s Office and the Eastern and Western district courts of Missouri.
