Actor John Schneider, who was jailed after failing to pay alimony to estranged wife Elvira, has been released. "The Dukes of Hazzard" star was arrested on Tuesday and was booked into the Los Angeles County Jail but thanks to California's overcrowded prison system, he was released hours later, reports people.com.

Schneider, who famously played Bo Duke on "The Dukes of Hazzard", was sentenced to three days in the prison for not paying over $150,000 in delinquent alimony due to his estranged wife, Elvira "Elly" Schneider, by mid-March.
