Mcgee was released from jail the following day after paying municipal court costs and fines totaling $3,116.50 and posting bonds totaling $6,000 dollars for unlawful carrying of a weapon and misdemeanor possession of marijuana. He was released from jail on his promise to make court appearances on a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Online district court records shows Mcgee is awaiting ten trials on misdemeanor charges dating back to September of 2019. Eight of the misdemeanor trials accuse him of marijuana possession.
