The 44-year-old former Minneapolis cop was being held at Minnesota Correctional Facility-Oak Park Heights. According to WCCO, Chauvin left the facility at 9:40 a.m. on Wednesday to be transferred to Hennepin County Jail where he was then able to post bail. Derek Chauvin’s unconditional bail was set at $1.25 million (or $1 million with conditions) according to the Hennepin County Sheriff’s roster. State court records show that Chauvin posted a non-cash bond guaranteed by Allegheny Casualty.
Since late May, Chavin’s been at the maximum-security prison in Oak Park Heights. All four officers charged in Floyd’s death have now been released from custody. Chauvin has been charged with second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter in connection with George Floyd’s death. He will appear next in court in March 2021.
