The U.S. Marine veteran held in a Mexican prison since April is now back home in Florida, according to Fox News.<br />
<br />
Andrew Tahmooressi was released from El Hongo Federal Prison Friday night.<br />
<br />
Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson played a major role in the negotiations to get Tahmooressi out.<br />
<br />
"He's in good spirits. He's smiling. He wants a steak. He wants to go home. He wants to see his mom. He's had a tough ordeal. He's had close to eight months, but now he's free," Richardson told Fox News Friday night.<br />
<br />
Tahmooressi has said he crossed into Mexico by mistake. He had three guns in his truck. The veteran suffers from post traumatic stress disorder.<br />
<br />
Richardson told Fox that was a factor in the Mexican judge's decision to release Tahmooressi.
