Former North Charleston officer Michael Slager, already charged in state court, was indicted on federal counts for depriving Walter Scott of civil rights and using a weapon during the crime. He remains free on bond with GPS monitoring and passport surrender. A second count accuses obstruction of justice for misleading state investigators about the shooting.
