Bridgeport, Conn. (WTNH) - One of the four East Haven police officers arrested Tuesday by the FBI on charges they abused Hispanic immigrants and covered it up has been released on $250,000 bond.
The U.S Attorney's office said Jason Zullo was released Thursday. Zullo, who is not permitted to travel into East Haven, was the only officer not released after their arrest Monday.
Federal authorities say the officers assaulted people while they were handcuffed and unlawfully searched Latino businesses. They also allegedly harassed and intimidated people, including witnesses and other officers who tried to investigate or report the misconduct or abuse the officers committed.
Zullo was arrested along with officers David Cari, Dennis Spaulding and Sergeant John Miller.
Both Miller and Spaulding were ordered not to enter the town without permission from the court.
All four say they're not guilty.
