( CNN ) -- Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick walked out of prison a free man Tuesday after serving just over 14 months of a 5-year sentence at a state facility in Jackson , Michigan . Kilpatrick had been serving time for violating probation related to a 2008 case against him . The former mayor walked out of the prison and got into a waiting SUV early Tuesday . He was given `` a small amount of cash from the cashier 's office '' upon his release , said John Cordell , spokesman for the Michigan Department of Corrections . Kilpatrick was expected to board a flight to Dallas , where he was to be reunited with his family . He is to check in with a Texas parole officer on his arrival , and he must serve two years of parole , Cordell said . The former mayor pleaded guilty in September 2008 to two felony counts of obstruction of justice stemming from his efforts to cover up an extramarital affair . He also pleaded no contest to charges of assaulting a police officer who was attempting to serve a subpoena on a Kilpatrick friend in that case . He then spent more than three months in jail before being released in February 2009 on five years of probation . He was also ordered to pay restitution as part of his original plea deal . But on May 25 , 2010 , Wayne County Judge David Groner sentenced Kilpatrick to five years in prison for failing to report assets that could be used to pay the restitution , a violation of his probation . Kilpatrick will be subject to usual restrictions for parolees , plus an order to pay back what his lawyer called $ 860,000 in restitution . But even if he abides by all these conditions , the former mayor 's troubles are not over . He also faces a host of federal charges related to his time as Detroit 's chief executive , including racketeering , extortion , bribery and filing false tax returns . CNN 's Greg Morrison contributed to this report .
