His attorney Warren Cassell said bail had been secured in the sum of one million dollars and that 10 pieces of land had been put up as security to make sure Perkins is available for all his court dates and trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Perkins has to surrender his passport to the court, avoid any contact with the witnesses in the state\u2019s case against him, and report to the policy on a daily basis.<\/p>

The accused is also required to continue residing at his current address and should give the authorities, in writing, 48 hours if he plans to re-locate.<\/p>\n
