Indicted Dr. Stephen Schneider is at home for the first time in months today.

The Haysville doctor was released from custody this morning. He was met at the Federal Courthouse in Downtown Wichita by his teenage daughters and other supporters.

A Federal judge yesterday agreed to release Dr. Schneider on several conditions. Those conditions include forfeiting $2 million in assets if he fails to show for court. Dr. Schneider will also wear an electronic monitoring device, and can have no contact with his patients.

Prosecutors accused Schneider of overprescribing painkillers to patients. They link him to the overdose deaths of 56 patients.
