A judge in South Carolina set a $150,000 bond for a small-town police officer charged with voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of a man who investigators said led her on a high-speed chase after running through a stop sign. Hemingway police officer Cassandra Dollard was released from jail less than two hours after the bond hearing. Dollard was fired from her job with the State Transportation Police in 2014. Court records obtained by The Associated Press show she waited six hours t report she fired her gun at dogs while jogging and repeatedly failed to call in traffic stops to dispatchers. The agency said Dollard had a "well-documented run of extraordinarily poor decision-making."
