Rayshard Brooks’ Attorneys Demand Officer's Bond Be Revoked

ATLANTA, GA — Rayshard Brooks’ widow Tomika Miller, and her attorneys held a news conference Wednesday after the Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard asked a judge to revoke the bond of Garrett Rolfe.

A motion was filed Tuesday to revoke Rolfe’s bond, saying he had traveled to Florida for a beach vacation without permission, reported WSB.

Rolfe is charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks. He was granted a $500,000 bond June 30th. It came with rules such as a daily curfew and only leaving the house for “medical, legal, or work related obligations.”

Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said his investigation shows Brooks never posed a threat to former Officer Garrett Rolfe or Officer Devin Brosnan.

An autopsy report offered details on the death of Brooks, 27, who was shot by Atlanta police in a Wendy's parking lot. Brooks died after two gunshot wounds to the back that caused organ damage and blood loss, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office. His death has been classified as a homicide.

For more than 41 minutes Brooks answered police questions, followed their instructions and never had a weapon, Howard said. "Mr. Brooks never displayed any aggressive behavior," he said.

Key in the decision to press felony charges against the officers was the fact that the police didn't tell Brooks he was under arrest for driving drunk, and that the officers kicked or stood on Brooks as he lay wounded in the parking lot, prosecutor Howard said at a news conference in June.

Rolfe faces 11 charges including felony murder and aggravated assault.
