OBERLIN — A former Lorain police officer who has spent the past two months behind bars for allegedly violating his probation in a telephone harassment case has been released from the Lorain County Jail. But the release could be short-lived.
Corey Earl, 48, could still be returned to jail if accusations that he violated a no-contact order that prevented him from having contact with his ex-wife, Laura Astorino, are proven in a hearing next month. Earl pleaded no contest in March to telephone harassment and was given a six-month suspended jail sentenced.
John Prusak, Earl’s attorney, said he asked Oberlin Municipal Court Judge Thomas Januzzi to release Earl because of medical issues related to a series of strokes Earl suffered in 2008.
Earl took a disability retirement from the Lorain Police Department earlier this year.
Earl will be required to stay away from Astorino — who filed the original complaint against him — and must wear a GPS monitoring device, Prusak said.

Corey i am wondering where are your boys now? all that love and you are so important to them and the chief. WHAT happened? We went to a steak fry for a fellow officer and all they talked about was your butt in jail and that you will never learn.. What did all that butt kissing get you? I really hope that you come forward on a case of another officer and come clean about all off those so called friends. They don’t care about you and never have but you do have friends that have cared and wish to be there for you. Corey you need to think long and hard about helping a person that will always have your back.
