One of the Atlanta police officers accused of the deadly shooting of Rayshard Brooks outside a Wendy's parking lot on June 12 turned himself in to the Fulton County Jail on Thursday.
Devin Brosnan surrendered himself Thursday morning, jail records show. He bonded out again about an hour after turning himself in. Brosnan was placed on administrative leave after the shooting incident and is facing three charges, including aggravated assault, officials said.
Garret Rolfe, the officer that pulled the trigger, had been given until 6 p.m. to turn himself over to police, the outlet reported. It's not clear at the time if he had turned himself in already.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard announced that Brooks's cooperative demeanor before the arrest attempt played a role in the decision to charge Rolfe. He suggested that Brooks didn't appear to present a threat.
Howard set bail at $50,000 for Brosnan and no bail for Rolfe.
The decision to prosecute came less than five days after the death of Brooks, which has put Atlanta in the spotlight during nationwide protests over police brutality in the United States.
The shooting sparked new demonstrations in Georgia’s capital against police brutality, after occasionally turbulent protests in response to George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis had largely simmered down. Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields resigned less than 24 hours after Brooks died.
