Another former police officer who was charged in the death of George Floyd has posted bail and has been released from jail.
Thomas Lane, another ex-cop charged in Floyd’s death, was released on June 10 after posting his $750,000 bail as well.
Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder as he was the one seen in the viral video of Floyd’s death with his knee in his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds.
Chauvin’s bail was at set at $1.25 million but he was offered a $1 million bail if he agrees to not leave Minnesota, turn over all of his guns and permits, stay away from Floyd’s family and does not work in law enforcement or security.
“Kueng held Mr. Floyd’s back and Lane held his legs,” reads a probable cause statement.
