According to court documents, Hellams was sentenced after entering a plea agreement from an incident in which he was revived from an overdose and then assaulted an officer by pulling and twisting on his testicles. According to the Marion County Jail, Hellams was"erroneously" released from custody. When they realized this happened, they applied for a warrant to have Hellams brought back into custody.When a person is booked in jail, the suspect is assigned a"Gallery Number" by the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
