During a hearing on Monday in Milwaukee County Circuit Court, Judge Michelle Havas symbolically set a $200,000 bail for Darrell Brooks on a domestic violence case in which he allegedly ran over his ex-girlfriend in the same vehicle that he used to plow through a Waukesha Christmas parade last month, killing six people and injuring dozens of others.
Milwaukee County Deputy District Attorney Matthew Torbenson cited the new intimidation charges and the six intentional homicide counts that Brooks is facing for the Nov. 21 Christmas parade attack when arguing for $200,000 bail on Monday.
"The defendant, while in custody on this [domestic violence] case, 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."
