Judge Robert Okun released Simons from the halfway house and allowed him to go home with the understanding that he will now be part of the high intensity supervision program (HISP).
Simons filed for release on April 14 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Simons is scheduled for sentencing on July 17.
