Kilpatrick goes to Dallas after release

DALLAS (AP) - Ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, hours after being released from jail, flew to Texas for what his attorneys say is a job interview.

WFAA-TV showed Kilpatrick on Tuesday night stepping off a private jet at Dallas Love Field, after a flight from a Detroit-area airport.

Kilpatrick departed Michigan about 16 hours after his release from jail.

It's been more than a year since a text-messaging sex scandal started the process that ended in Kilpatrick's arrest, plea, jailing and release.

Kilpatrick's attorneys have said he has a job interview Wednesday in Texas. Further details were not released. A judge has ruled Kilpatrick must return to Michigan by Monday.

The 38-year-old Kilpatrick is on probation for five years.
