Randall Tavaris Garner, who is a Halifax County resident, works mostly out of town construction jobs, the sheriff said. A mugshot was not immediately available.
Tripp said in a statement on June 10 Garner was confined to the detention center for probation violations in both district and superior courts for driving while license revoked.
On June 11, bail was posted for the bond in district court and a detention officer who Tripp declined to name released Garner without bond being posted for the case in superior court.
The detention officer has been disciplined. The sheriff declined to discuss the nature of the disciplinary action.
An order for arrest has been issued to return Garner to custody of the detention center, Tripp said in the statement.
