Former Officer Who Shot Daunte Wright to Remain Free on Bail The former police officer who fatally shot a man during a traffic stop in Minnesota over the weekend was ordered on April 15 to appear in court next month. In a brief appearance via Zoom, Kim Potter was told to appear on May 17 in person before Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu, unless other arrangements are made with the judge. Potter, 48, was arrested on April 14 on a second-degree manslaughter charge. She was released from jail hours later after posting a $100,000 bond; she will remain free until her next court appearance, a judge said during the virtual hearing.
