Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez released on $1 million bail

After spending eight months in jail on attempted murder charges, former UFC Heavyweight Champion and former WWE Superstar Cain Velasquez has been released on $1 million bail on Tuesday.

This past February, Velasquez was charged by Santa Clara County police with allegedly chasing down Harry Goularte in his truck and shooting at him, striking Goularte’s stepfather who was also in the vehicle.

Velasquez had allegedly followed Goularte on what local police called an “eleven mile, high speed chase,” driving into Goularte’s vehicle before firing into it.

The incident was happened when Goularte being charged with sexual assault of a young relative of Velasquez. Velasquez later claimed in a civil suit that his own four-year-old son was also sexually assaulted.

Velasquez plead not guilty in August, and was denied bail four previous times by a different judge. As he awaits a trial date, Velasquez is required to wear a GPS tracker and must not come within 300 yards of the alleged victims.
