Two men who had been jailed for several weeks while their attorney said they were being held illegally have been released from prison.
According to their lawyer, Ethan Wentworth, of Airville, and Rusty Herr, of Christiana, were released earlier this month from York and Lancaster County prisons, respectively, after being arrested on 30-day civil sentences.
The duo run NoBull Solutions, LLC., a breeding company that helps dairy farms with the reproductive management of cattle.
NoBull Solutions has also been the subject of an investigation by the Pennsylvania Department of State, into prior complaints alleging the men were practicing unlicensed veterinary care by ultrasounding other farmers’ cows.
However, that's not why Herr and Wentworth ended up behind bars.
Both men were being held for civil contempt of court, a charge the Commonwealth Court tells FOX43 has no option for bail.
Robert Barnes, the attorney representing both men, has claimed they were being held illegally.
Since their release, Barnes released the following statement:
"We are pleased that Ethan Wentworth and Rusty Herr have both been released, but additional remedy must be sought to prevent this from happening again."
Barnes has taken this case to the Pa. Supreme Court for its oversight.
