Officers tracked Brooks to an address in Milwaukee, Wisconsin about 20 miles from the parade tragedy. Court documents link Brooks to the Milwaukee address where he was arrested. And the SUV from the parade rampage was parked in the driveway.
The front of the vehicle was completely caved in right up to the windshield. The bumper and license plate were hanging off the SUV.
Brooks was immediately detained and arrested. He reportedly was complaining that his shoulder was sore while he was taken into custody.
Chief Thompson said that although Brooks is in custody, it is a “fluid investigation.” And that at this time the priority is “working with families” of the victims.
Criminal History and threatening lyrics
The night Brooks plowed into the parade he had been in a domestic disturbance where he threatened a woman with a knife. Investigators are still investigating the alleged crime.
Brooks currently has two criminal cases open in Milwaukee County. On November 5th, he was charged with resisting or obstructing an officer. And with reckless endangering, disorderly conduct, bail jumping, and battery. He posted a $1,000 cash bond on Friday to get out of jail.
