Lane has been free on $5,000 cash bond since the day after his January 2017 arrest. He paid just over $1,800 in fines and court costs, with the remaining cash bond being returned.
Lane’s arrest came after agents with Homeland Security reportedly intercepted a package from China that contained 1,000 grams of bath salts and was to be delivered to Lane’s Kinmundy home.
