Many have been protesting over the death of Breonna Taylor, a Black emergency medical technician, was shot eight times in Louisville on March 13 by police officers.
Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron has come under fire from residents for not charging any of the three officers involved in Taylor’s killing.
Stills reportedly offered to cover the costs of protesters to travel to Frankfort, Kentucky to join the protests.
Aside from being charged with felony, he was also slapped with charges of misdemeanor disorderly and criminal trespassing, but was released on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Stills’ agent Ray Williams slammed officials over the arrest of the wide receiver.
“@KSTiLLS has officially spent more time in jail fighting for justice than the known killers who killed Breonna Taylor,” he tweeted.
