Prosecutors are seeking the arrest of Kyle Rittenhouse, the Illinois teen who has been charged with killing two people during racial unrest in Wisconsin last year.
According to Fox6, the Kenosha County District Attorney's Office filed a motion Wednesday, requesting a new arrest warrant for Rittenhouse as well as a $200,000 increase to his bond. Prosecutors say the teen failed to notify the court about the change in his address within 48 hours of moving, which is a violation of his bond terms.
The Kenosha DA also argued that the 18-year-old has no incentive to comply with the condition of his $2 million bond, as the money came from his defense fund that received millions of dollars in donations. They go on to say that Rittenhouse has continued to demonstrate a "carefree attitude" despite facing multiple homicide charges. Prosecutors pointed to a series of photos in which the teen was seen at a Wisconsin bar wearing a "Free as Fuck" T-shirt just hours after his arraignment in early January.
The motion read in part:
Rittenhouse is accused of fatally shooting 36-year-old Joseph Rosenbaum and 26-year-old Anthony Huber during the Kenosha protests over the police shooting of Jacob Blake. He is also accused of wounding 22-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz, who survived his injuries. Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the shootings, is now facing first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and attempted first-degree intentional homicide charges. His trial is expected to begin next month.
