Former Martinsville Vice Mayor Jennifer Bowles is back on the outside after being bonded out of jail at 4:28 p.m. on Friday.

Bowles apparently had some catching up to do with her supporters. On Saturday, she took to Facebook to thank those who have been sending thoughts and prayers her way.

"Too many blessings to respond to everyone individually, but please know my heart is so full. I feel and appreciate every single thought and prayer. Thank you all so much," Bowles wrote, adding heart and prayer emojis.

Bowles, 37, has been facing 15 criminal charges stemming from a bizarre October 14 incident in the parking lot of a Home Depot along Highway 9 Bypass West in Lancaster, South Carolina.

According to published reports, Bowles allegedly drove her vehicle into multiple parked cars, leaving several vehicles damaged and bringing police to the scene.

Officers responding to the incident reportedly found multiple damaged vehicles before taking Bowles into custody.

The former Martinsville vice mayor's legal troubles are far from over, however. Being released on bond doesn't make those 15 charges disappear.

For now, Bowles is back home, her supporters are sending prayers, and the South Carolina court system still has some unfinished business.
