Ex-NH candidate released from jail



Dover, N.H. (AP)  -- Gary Dodds, the former New Hampshire congressional candidate convicted of faking his disappearance two years ago, was released from jail Thursday.
 
Dodds's lawyer says his client will be subject to 45 days of electronic monitoring for violating his bail conditions.

Dodds has been in jail since Tuesday, when he was arrested after his wife reported that he had moved out of their Rye home, been acting erratically and threw her to the floor during an argument.

A hearing to set new bail conditions was set for Thursday but lawyers reached an agreement Wednesday afternoon that calls for Dodds to be monitored through a GPS system for 45 days. 

He also will be under a curfew that bars him from leaving home between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
   
Dodds' lawyer says his client also agreed to undergo a mental health evaluation.
