As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis has been released from Vista Detention Facility, where he has been held this month.

Lambesis was was arrested on May 7, accused of having attempted to hire a hitman to murder his estranged wife. The singer, whose friends and family had noted he changed drastically in personality when he started getting heavily into body-building, has blamed steroid use for his irrational behavior.

Lambesis' bail had recently been lowered to $2 million.

As Metal Injection confirms:

“The San Diego Sheriff's Department has an email alert system sent an alert that Lambesis was released as of 6:34pm eastern time.”

As the website additionally reports:

“The judge ruled that should Lambesis make bail, which he has, he would have to wear a GPS bracelet and could not leave San Diego unless he was visiting his lawyer. He was also ordered to stay away from his wife and children.”
