Young was being held in lieu of $30,000 bond, but has a hold placed on him by the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

Young, who was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty in June 2010 with two other men to manslaughter in the March 2009 shooting death of Antonio Turner, 25, was on earned release supervision, and due to be released in September, according to the Mississippi Department of Corrections website.
