The woman accused of setting a Wendy’s restaurant on fire after the police shooting of Rayshard Brooks posted a $10,000 bond Wednesday, just hours after she faced a judge for the first time.
Natalie White, 29, surrendered to Atlanta police on Tuesday. White is accused of helping to set fire to the Wendy’s the night after Brooks was killed. She faces first-degree arson charges.
Channel 2′s Matt Johnson learned she was released from the jail just before 8 p.m. Wednesday into the custody of her mother.
Earlier Wednesday, White appeared in front of a judge via videoconferencing and wearing a face mask.
White’s attorney, Drew Findling, argued for a signature bond, which would have allowed White out of jail for free. Findling said White’s family is broke and they would have to rely on supporters to bail her out.
