“The defendant, while in custody on this [domestic violence] 案件, made 49 phone calls to the victim that he was ordered to have no contact with. Twenty-five of those calls did get through to the victim,” Torbenson told the judge.
“The defendant has violated his bail in a number of ways in a number of manners both while he’s in custody… and out of custody.”
Brooks was originally released from jail on $ 1,000 bail in the domestic violence incident in mid-November. He allegedly killed six people in the parade just days later. At the time of his arrest for running over his ex-girlfriend, he was already out on $ 500 bail in Milwaukee for allegedly opening fire on his nephew in 2020.
布鲁克斯’ new attorney in the Milwaukee cases, Robert Hampton, called the additional $ 200,000 bail request unnecessary given that the suspect is already being held on $ 5 million cash bail for the Waukesha massacre.

Judge Havas disagreed and granted the prosecutor’s request for $ 200,000 保释.
“Many things could happen. Someone could decide to be a benefactor of Mr. Brooks and post that $ 5 百万,” the judge said. “Someone could win the lottery… which could secure his release in another county.”
In the domestic violence case, Brooks is accused of punching his ex-girlfriend in the face and then running her over on Nov. 2, resulting in a dislocated femur and fractured ankle.
Brooks allegedly called his mother from jail the next day and told her his ex-girlfriend needs to stop cooperating with authorities.
“She can get the charges dropped all together (原文如此) if she called down there and said I didn’t do what she said,” Brooks told his mom, according to the criminal complaint. “If she don’t cooperate with them, they are going to have to drop it.”
