Protesters on Tuesday night gathered outside the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta demanding the release of the woman accused of setting fire to the Wendy's restaurant where Rayshard Brooks was killed by a police officer.
The group, which had swelled in size to about 100 by 11 p.m., banged on pots and pans, blared their car horns, held signs reading Black Lives Matter and used projectors to light up the words "Dismantle white supremacy" and "Shut it down."
On Monday, the Fulton County Sheriff's Office announced they were looking for Natalie White in connection to the Wendy's fire. By Tuesday evening, she had turned herself in and is facing charges of first-degree arson.
Early Wednesday afternoon, a judge agreed to release White on a $10,000 bond under the condition she be on house arrest, wear an ankle monitor and stay off social media.
White's lawyer, Drew Findling, claims his client did not start the June 13 fire. There have been rumors that White was Brooks' girlfriend, something Brooks' family denies. While Findling would not confirm those claims, he did say White and Brooks knew each other.
