Clayton County Superior Court Judge Matthew O. Simmons released a jailed former sheriff's employee from contempt charges, Thursday, with several conditions, including that she testify before a special grand jury Sept. 16.

Naomi Simone Nash, 35, of Tallahassee, burst into loud sobs as she was led from the courtroom Thursday morning following the brief hearing. She was jailed Sept. 2, after refusing to answer grand jurors' questions, because she might incriminate herself. She said Wednesday there was a misunderstanding, and she wanted to testify "as soon as possible."
