COLUMBUS, Ohio - The fired Ohio police officer charged with fatally shooting Andre Hill posted bail and was released from jail Tuesday hours to an audie.
Adam Coy, a former Columbus police officer accused of murder in the shooting death of Andre Hill, was released Tuesday afternoon from the Franklin County jail, hours after a judge lowered his bond from $3 million to $1 million in a court hearing.
Coy, 44, walked out of the Front Street entrance to the Downtown jail about 2:30 p.m. A small group of protesters chanted, Convict that killer cop as three men provided protection for Coy and escorted him to a waiting SUV parked at the curb.
About three hours earlier, Common Pleas Judge Stephen L. McIntosh granted a motion for reconsideration filed by Coy s attorneys, who argued that Coy s original bond, set Friday at his arraignment, was excessive.
Adam Coy, the former Columbus, Ohio police officer who has been charged in the shooting death of Andre Hill, has his bond reduced to $1 million during a court hearing on Tuesday.
