HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The man charged with the murder of Migos rapper Takeoff is out of jail on a $1 million bond.
Records show Patrick Clark made bond on Wednesday.
This comes after Clark's defense team tried to have his bond lowered to $300,000, saying the suspect could not come up with the cash to get out.
Initially, Clark's bond was set at $2 million, but Judge Josh Hill agreed to lower it to $1 million. Hill ruled that previous statements made by Clark indicated that he could pay a $1 million bail & that there are bail bond companies that would take on that risk.
For that reason, the judge denied the request to lower the bond to $300,000, keeping it at $1 million.
Prosecutors previously raised concerns that Clark wasn't being upfront about all his financial assets. They said he works as a local DJ & strip club promotor & deals largely in cash, so it's hard to determine how much money he actually has.
They also raised concerns over him being a possible flight risk if he is not in custody.
Clark had to surrender his passport to the court during a previous appearance.
Under his bond conditions, Clark's not allowed to leave his parent's home on the far east side of Houston. He also can't have any contact with Takeoff's family.
