William Riley Gaul, a former Maryville College football player, was released from the Knox County detention facility on Monday, Jan. 30, after posting a $1 million bond, according to PEOPLE and local reports.
Gaul is charged in the November 2016 death of Emma, a 16 year old Knoxville high school cheerleader he previously dated. Police say Emma was shot while inside her home on Nov. 21, and Gaul was arrested the following day.
Earlier in the month, a grand jury indicted Gaul on multiple counts, including first degree murder, especially aggravated stalking, tampering with evidence and employing a firearm during a dangerous felony. His arraignment, originally set for Jan. 30, was pushed to Feb. 13.
Gaul is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court, and the charges are allegations at this stage. We will share more as the case moves forward.
