Former Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely remains inmate in his old jail as he awaits bond ruling With no bond, Mike Blakely will stay inside the Limestone County Jail until his sentencing hearing on August 20th. Posted: Aug 4, 2021 5:58 PM Posted By: Nicole Zedeck It's been two days since former Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely was convicted of two class B felonies. He's been inside the Limestone County Jail since the guilty verdict was read. As of Wednesday night, Blakely remains inside the jail until his sentencing hearing on Aug. 20. That's because the judge has not yet ruled on the defense's motion for bond, and she doesn't have to. She can chose not to rule on the motion at all, or she can flat out deny his motion for bond, which is what the state recommends.
