TAMPA, FLA. — A retired Florida
police officer charged with murder in the shooting death of a fellow moviegoer
during a dispute over texting was expected to go home last night after being
released from jail on bond, his lawyer said.
Bail was set at $150,000 for
Curtis Reeves, 71, who has been in jail without bond since the January shooting
at a Tampa-area movie theater. A judge ordered Reeves under house arrest, and
he is only to leave home to shop for groceries, seek medical care or attend
religious services.
As a condition of his bond,
Reeves must surrender any personal firearms.
