Darrell Brooks, a 39-year-old from Wisconsin, is being questioned over the deadly incident in Waukesha, which leaft 5 dead and more than 40 injured. Brooks has an extensive criminal history per these sources dating back more than a decade.
Investigators are looking into whether the SUV driver who plowed through a Christmas parade in suburban Milwaukee, killing at least five people and injuring more than 40, was fleeing from a crime.
Online court records showed a person named Darrell Brooks, with a birthdate making him 39, has two open criminal cases in Milwaukee County. In one case, filed Nov. 5, he is charged with resisting or obstructing an officer, reckless homicide, disorderly conduct, bail jumping and battery. Records show $1,000 bond was posted on Friday.
In the other case, filed in July 2020, Brooks is charged with reckless endangering and illegal possession of a firearm.
Investigators were questioning the person in custody about an earlier crime, which one of the officials described as an argument involving a knife. The official cautioned the investigation was still in the early stages.

So Joe Biden immediately brands Kyle Rittenhouse as a white supremacist when he was initially told about the incident. He got all the democrats and his black brothers riled up against the WHITE man. Now, that this horrific attack turns out to have a BLACK criminal thug………. silence. Crickets. Merrick Garland lost his tongue. Chris Wray has a sore throat. No comment by DeBlasio. Pelosi, zzzzz. Msnbc is busy interviewing Fauci. Let them keep at it. The red tsunami wave is coming next year.
Coffee addict, National news unless its a top story of the day always appear in the later pages of the first section of the NY Times. When the paper went to press around 10pm there was little information available about the event, but it was deemed worthy of appearing in the paper.
Make no excuses for violent thugs.
