DENVER, Colo. (KRDO) – A federal judge ruled on Thursday that Carie Hallford, the co-owner of the Return to Nature funeral home along with her husband Jon, would be allowed out of jail on home detention, with GPS monitoring and an unsecured bond, while the couple’s federal fraud case continues.
The hearing on Thursday morning was brief, with the judge presiding over the federal case asking Carie Hallford if she had read and signed the bond agreements for her release. She said, “Yes your honor.”
The judge then signed off on the terms himself, and Carie Hallford proceeded to pre-trial services, which fitted her with a new GPS ankle monitor, to serve both the federal and state bonds she has been let out on.
Carie Hallford will now be able to live under home detention at the hotel she was most recently staying at with her husband Jon, along with the tracking device keeping watch of her whereabouts.
Court documents also show that Carie Hallford signed a $10,000 unsecured bond, which means she does not have to pay the bond amount so long as she shows up to the mandated court appearances moving forward. Conversely, if she fails to appear, she will be fined.
