A judge has reportedly set bail at $1.25 million for Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis police officer charged with second-degree murder in the death of George Floyd.
Judge Jeannice Reding granted the prosecutor's motion to set unconditional bail at $1.25 million, or $1 million with conditions, on Monday as Chauvin appeared virtually in a Minneapolis court, CNN reported.
Conditions include being law-abiding, making future appearances, not working in security or in a law enforcement capacity, surrendering firearms or ammunition and any firearm permit, not leaving Minnesota and having no contact with George Floyd’s family, according to CNN.
Chauvin would also need to waive extradition upon his release, the outlet reported.
The defense reportedly did not object to the prosecutor's bail proposal.
It was the first time Chauvin has appeared in court.
Chauvin was initially charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Last week his charges were upgraded to second-degree murder.
