I think it is more likely that Brooks knew he was going back to prison rather than being fearful of being shot by the police.
Does Rayshard Brooks have a criminal history?
Brooks had previously been convicted of False Imprisonment, Simple Battery/Family, Battery Simple and Felony Cruelty/Cruelty to Children, the
Daily Mail reported
He had reportedly pleaded guilty to charges dating back to August 2014.
The dad-of-four was sentenced to one year in prison and six on probation for one count, and 12 months for each of the three other counts.
After a revised sentencing, he was sent back to prison in July 2016.
In December 2019, a warrant was issued for his arrest, which was revoked a month later.
Was Rayshard Brooks on probation the night he was shot?
Reports indicate
Brooks was on probation the night of his death.
Documents cited by the Mail indicate Brooks would have been jailed if he was arrested for a DUI.
The sobriety test Rolfe and Brosnan administered registered Brooks' blood-alcohol level at .108 percent.
The legal limit is .08.
An autopsy by the Fulton County Medical Examiner ruled Brooks' death a homicide.
