Ricky Price released from jail on bond pending trial
35 year old Ricky Roderick Price who was involved in a controversial arrest with police in Rock Hill on June 23rd that caused three days of protests after video of that arrest went viral has been released from jail on bail pending trial. Price is facing charges of resisting arrest, possession of crack cocaine, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and a traffic violation. Price had been in jail since June when bond was denied at an initial hearing, and then was denied bond again in August by South Carolina Circuit Court Judge Dan Hall in a second court hearing. Price was released Friday night. Bond was set at bond at $6,000 with house arrest and electronic monitoring as conditions of release. Prosecutors and defense lawyers declined comment on Price’s case because it is pending. No trial date has been set.
