Add witness intimidation to the long list of charges against accused Waukesha, Wisconsin parade rammer Darrell Brooks Jr.
Prosecutors in Milwaukee yesterday filed the new charges against the suspect in Waukesha’s Christmas Parade massacre. The charges stem from Brooks’ time in jail in Milwaukee just weeks before he’s accused of running through the parade crowd. Prosecutors say he repeatedly called the woman who they say he beat-up and ran over with his SUV in early November. In some recorded calls, you can hear Brooks threaten the woman while also trying to coax her into not saying anything about the case.
Brooks was ultimately given one thousand dollars bail in that case, and was free to be at the Waukesha parade just days later.
