OUTAGAMIE COUNTY (NBC 26) — A former Neenah probationary police officer has posted a $20,000 cash bail bond on child pornography charges, and has been released from custody.

According to VINELink, which identifies itself as the U.S.'s leading victim notification network, Owen Halls, 22, was released from custody on Friday because he bonded out.

The Outagamie County Jail confirmed to NBC 26 that Halls has bonded out.

Halls made his first court appearance Thursday in Outagamie County, a day after the Neenah Police Department announced his firing. He faces two counts of possessing child porn.

Halls has been ordered to avoid contact with anyone under 18 and cannot use any internet devices, according to a court commissioner.

His next court appearance is scheduled for May 5.
