A Killeen rapper featured in a Netflix documentary has been released Wednesday after his bond was reducedfrom $500,000 to $150,000.
During George Powell's bond hearing Wednesday, the judge ordered the bond to be reduced.
Powell will be required to wear an ankle monitor and will have a set curfew from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. The judge also granted Powell the ability to move to Huntsville.
Powell was convicted of robbing a 7-Eleven convenience store a decade ago. However, the court of criminal appeals decided he should be granted a new trial.
On Sept. 16 just after 10 a.m., Powell was moved back to the Bell County Jail where his loved ones and attorney hoped he would get out on bail that Tuesday.
Powell's attorney requested to lower the bail. However, during Tuesday's hearing, Assistant District Attorney Mike Waldman pushed to keep things as they are, bringing up Powell's criminal history. The decision? Powell's bond remained at $500,000.
