Rider then invited him in, gave him a coat and even let him use his phone.

Rider said he was unaware of the deadly parade crash that happened moments earlier and asked Brooks to leave after he saw police on his street.
"A minute later he’s pounding on the door saying, 'I left my ID in there, let me back in,'" said Rider.
Moments later, Rider witnessed police on his doorstep arresting Brooks.
Darrell Brooks had his first hearing on Tuesday where he was charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide.
His cash bail was set at $5 million dollars.
