Ralph Yarl shooting suspect Andrew Lester walks free from jail a second time shortly after surrendering

Clay County Jail

The suspect in the shooting of Kansas City teenager Ralph Yarl was released on bail after handing himself in to the police a day after prosecutors filed charges against him.

The Clay County Sheriff’s Office announced that the 84-year-old had “surrendered” at a detention centre just before 1.30pm local time Tuesday - more than 20 hours after charges were filed against him. Just after 3pm, reports emerged that he had posted $200,000 bond.
