NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Former Norfolk Sheriff Robert McCabe is out on bond after being indicted on public corruption charges last week.
McCabe was granted a $10,000 unsecured bond on Wednesday in Norfolk federal court. The bond comes with travel restrictions, and McCabe won’t be allowed to contact the co-defendant in the case, Gerard Boyle, the CEO of Correct Care Solutions.

The indictment against McCabe alleges he was involved in a quid pro quo relationship with Boyle, who would give cash, gifts and campaign contributions to McCabe in exchange for official actions that benefited Boyle’s company.
McCabe came into court in shackles.
“I understand the Marshals’ concern and they run the courtroom so they have to decide what they think they need to do, and I think the court was very fair and understanding in that he’s certainly not a risk of flight or danger,” said Attorney James Broccoletti.
“We made arrangements with the US Attorney’s Office and the FBI to surrender him this morning he was transported by them to the courthouse today,” Broccoletti said.
When asked about what happened in court, Broccoletti responded, “Those are all things we expected to happen.”
McCabe faces 11 charges in the case, and could receive up to 20 years in prison for each count.
