Thomas Lane, one of the four former Minneapolis police officers charged over the killing of George Floyd, has left jail after posting $750,000 bail, according to reports.
The 37-year-old was released from the Hennepin County jail shortly after 4 pm on Wednesday, the Star Tribune reported, citing a Sheriff’s Office spokesperson.
Mr. Lane is charged with aiding and abetting in the 25 May killing of Mr. Floyd, as are two other former police officers, Tou Thao and J Alexander Keung.
Derek Chauvin, who knelt on Mr. Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes as he begged for mercy and onlookers pleaded with him to stop, is charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter.
