One of the former Minneapolis cops who have been charged in the death of George Floyd has been released from jail after posting bail.

J. Alexander Kueng, 26, was released from Hennepin County jail shortly before 7.30pm on Friday, the StarTribune reports. He was being held in lieu of $750,000 bail prior to his release. Kueng is one of the three former Minneapolis police officers had have been charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter during the incident on May 25.
Kueng and former officer Thomas Lane, 37, were the first to respond to the call that a man - later said to be Floyd - had been trying to use a counterfeit $20 bill at a deli. Kueng and Lane discovered Floyd sitting in a nearby car. They handcuffed him and attempted to put him inside their squad car.
Later, after the arrival of officers Derek Chauvin and Tou Thao, witness video shows Kueng holding onto Floyd's back while he was lying in the street.
Kueng then told the other officers that he 'couldn't find' Floyd's pulse.

According to charging documents, Lane (seen far right) - who initially took Floyd into custody - held down the father-of-five's legs, while Kueng held his back and Chauvin kneeled down on his neck for eight minutes and 46 seconds
