According to the sheriff's department release, "Robinson went through the identical process as any other individual being incarcerated at the jail."
Robinson is classified as a minimum security risk and thus is eligible for the electronic monitoring program, the release said.
A Minnesota judge sentenced Robinson to 90 days in jail on Feb. 20 after he was pulled over Aug. 15 near Mankato, Minn., after leading police on a 100-mph chase. His blood alcohol level was measured at 0.11, above the legal state limit, but police ended up charging him with a single felony of fleeing police.
