Edward Nero was charged with second-degree assault and misconduct in office, while William Porter was charged with involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault and misconduct in office, according to the Baltimore Sun. Both bails were set at $250,000.

Officer Garrett Miller faces charges of second-degree assault, misconduct in office, and false imprisonment. His bail has been set as $250,000.

Bullock, on the other hand, faces eight charges ranging from rioting and malicious destruction of property to rogue and vagabond, disorderly conduct and theft of less than $100.

His mother, Bobbi Smallwood, and stepfather, Maurice Hawkins, told The Guardian they regret forcing the boy to turn himself in because they cannot afford the bail.

Not a single charge Bullock faces is in connection with the death of an individual.
