Mower County Court issued two warrants revoking Finley’s release July 24, after a Mower County probation officer informed the court that Finley had “failed to remain law abiding and of good behavior.”
The details of the alleged probation violation were not publicly available.
Finley was released from jail pending his sentencing for Rack’s death, which is scheduled for Sept. 12.
