An elderly Arizona rancher who is accused of killing a Mexican national at his border property has been released from Santa Cruz County Jail on a $1 million bond, which has been converted from a cash bond to a surety bond.

Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Gerardo Castillo confirmed to Fox News that George Alan Kelly, 73, posted bond on Wednesday. Justice of the Peace Emilio Velasquez upheld the bond and agreed to convert it from a cash bond to a surety bond, allowing Kelly to use his ranch property as collateral.
