Former Greenville County Councilman Tony Trout is a free man.

Trout was released Thursday from a federal prison camp in Beckley, West Virginia, a place he had been held since Sept. 22 for his conviction for wiretapping and computer spying.

Trout was convicted in April 2009 of unlawfully accessing Greenville County Administrator Joe Kernell’s county computer, unlawfully accessing a Yahoo server which contained emails from Kernell’s personal account and illegally intercepting and unlawfully disclosing electronic communication.

He was sentenced to 1 year and 1 day in prison.

Trout served 316 days after credits.

Trout will be on three years supervised release.
