A woman arrested for the assault of two police officers during protests in New York over the death of Tyre Nichols has been freed without bail, in a move signed off by the city’s district attorney.
Candy Nicole, who has a prior arrest for grabbing a male partner’s testicles during an argument, was released on her own recognizance Saturday following a brief appearance in New York County Criminal Court.
Hours before, the 25-year-old was one of three New Yorkers arrested as thousands descended on Times Square to protest the police brutality death of Nichols, a 29-year-old black man killed earlier this month during a traffic stop by Memphis police.
The protests seen in the Big Apple were one of several seen across the country after Memphis police’s release of video of the murder Friday, with the procession in the Big Apple among many to turn violent.
