Former Schwag frontman Jimmy Tebeau was released from prison yesterday


- RFT.
- Tebeau is a free man.
Jimmy Tebeau’s southern Missouri property, Camp Zoe – home to several Schwagstock festivals a few years ago – was raided and seized by federal agents back in 2010. Prosecutors alleged that Schwagstock essentially doubled as an open-air drug market, and that drug dealers sold somewhere in the neighborhood of $500,000 worth of product during the festivals. (The property was sold to the state and is now considered a state park.)
The frontman of Grateful Dead tribute act the Schwag, Tebeau was later sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for maintaining the drug-involved premises.
As of yesterday, though, Tebeau is a free man, according to the Riverfront Times in St. Louis, which has laudably covered the hell out of the Tebeau/Camp Zoe story since day one.
“Good behavior and a plea deal got his sentence reduced, and now Tebeau is out of the clink and staying in a halfway house in St. Louis,” RFT reports.
