KFI News tweeted shortly after midnight that former Bell city administrative officer Robert Rizzo had posted bail and been released from jail. He said nothing as he walked to a waiting car. Rizzo had gotten the OK from a judge on Wednesday to put up assets for his bail of about $2 million. He was arrested Sept. 21 as part of the DA's raid on past and current Bell officials.
