Deputy Superintendent of Police Patrick Todd was yesterday granted his release on a total of $250,000 bail after he denied two charges, including causing the death of 64-year old cyclist Conrad Alleyne in an accident just over a month ago.

The charges were read to Todd yesterday morning when he appeared before Magistrate Rochelle Liverpool at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court.
