Dakota King was again granted temporary release from the Monroe County Jail Monday.
King has been held at the jail since 2019, when he allegedly admitted to killing his girlfriend’s 2-month-old child after the baby spit up on him.
King was released at 6 p.m. Monday to allow him to find housing as part of a plea deal he agreed to in April. The agreement would allow him to serve his sentence under home detention, but to do so, he needs to find a place to live in Monroe County.
He was released from the jail last week for the same reason but was unable to secure a residence.
King will have to turn himself back in at 6 p.m. Wednesday. He has a sentencing hearing scheduled Jan. 18.
