INDIANAPOLIS
An Indianapolis narcotics detective facing charges of selling a handgun to a felon and official misconduct was released on bond today.
Detective Jason Barber was released after a Marion Superior Court judge reduced his bond from $100,000 to $5,000.
Barber is accused of knowingly selling a firearm to a convicted burglar during a police sting. He is the fourth Indianapolis police officer arrested in two weeks and the third narcotics detective. He has been suspended without pay.
Barber's attorney, Terrance Kinnard, says Barber denies the charges.
As a condition of his release, Judge William Young required Barber to report weekly, surrender his passport and be subject to random drug tests while awaiting his trial in September.
