OSSIPEE — An elderly inmate’s bid to be released from county jail early because of COVID-19 fears apparently didn’t work out but he may be released as soon as next week.

Carroll County Superior Court Judge Amy Ignatius ruled in April that pending certain conditions Terrance Perkins, 73, of Tamworth could serve his sentence from home since the jail superintendent said he couldn’t keep him safe from COVID-19 behind bars.
