The Haitian media personality Carel Pedre  was heard by a judge on February 26, and sources indicate his release could occur later this evening, pending official confirmation.

Carel Pedre could regain his freedom tonight, according to sources close to the case who spoke to Juno7.

The Haitian media entrepreneur was reportedly heard by a judge on February 26, 2026. Following that hearing, the judge is said to have approved his release on bail, clearing the legal pathway for his release from detention.

Release Possibly Expected Late Tonight

Since earlier today, reports have circulated suggesting that Pedre’s release could be imminent. According to reliable sources, his release may occur between 10:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. (local time), subject to the completion of administrative procedures within the detention facility.

As of this writing, no official statement has been issued by U.S. authorities confirming the exact timing of his release.

Background of the Case

Carel Pedre was arrested on December 21, 2025, in Broward County, Florida, following a domestic violence complaint.

On January 29, 2026, prosecutors officially dropped the charges, marking a significant turning point in the case. The approval of bail on February 26 represents a key procedural step toward his potential release.

Awaiting Official Confirmation

While indications suggest that his release may occur tonight, any definitive announcement remains contingent upon formal confirmation from the relevant authorities.
