Jason Anderson, the former police sergeant charged with manslaughter for the October 28 death of Jarvis Burrows, was granted $15,000.
Anderson appeared before a judge for an emergency bail hearing shortly after a magistrate remanded him into custody.
Anderson, 52,, is accused of shooting Burrows in the back in Harts, Exuma. Burrows died while waiting for an air ambulance.
The circumstances surrounding the killing are unclear. However, bystanders have suggested Burrows was shot “for a bag of weed.”
A bystander’s video of the shooting shared on social media sparked national outrage.
Anderson hasn’t yet entered a plea and returns to court on January 18, 2021.
