SUNRISE, FLA. (WSVN) - A Sunrise Police officer who faces charges associated with child pornography has appeared in court.
On Monday afternoon, Carl Haller, left jail on a $10,000 bond.
He has been suspended without pay by the Sunrise Police Department.
Sunrise Police Officer Carl Haller, a member of the department’s SWAT team, faced a judge on Sunday, a day after he was taken into custody.
The judge found probable cause and granted a pre-trial release for the 39-year-old.
Among the conditions of Haller’s release are no contact with minors and no internet. He will also be required to surrender his passport.
The 39-year-old’s arrest follows an internal investigation that started in January when allegations surfaced that he viewed child porn on his electronic devices.
Hours after Haller’s arrest, a spokesperson for Sunrise Police issued a statement that reads in part, “We want to assure the community that swift action has been taken … The actions demonstrated by Haller do not reflect the character and professionalism that is expected of the men and women of this agency.”
