WAUKESHA, Wis. — An incident report has been filed by Waukesha County deputies in connection to a situation they had with Darrell Brooks in the courtroom.

It happened during the first week of the trial in connection to the Waukesha Christmas parade tragedy.

On Oct. 6, deputies said Darrell Brooks was asked to walk with bailiffs to the side courtroom after the judge had removed him for being disruptive. He had on soft ankle restraints and his hands were free. Deputies said for the prior three days, he wore these same ankle restraints and didn’t have any trouble walking.

One deputy went under the front of the table where Brooks was seated to remove the lock, but Brooks refused to put his fit feet under the table. Deputy then moved to the side of the table to unlock the restraint.

After asking him to walk to the other courtroom, he said he didn’t consent to be moved and started gathering papers slowly.

Deputies said Brooks mentioned something about his ankle restraints, and he was informed they were the same as they’d been all week.

The deputy then placed his hand on Brooks’ back to guide him to the other courtroom, and Brooks pushed his body back into the deputy’s’ hand and took “clunky” steps.

Once in the other courtroom, another deputy went to secure the tether of the table and his ankle restraints, but Brooks remained standing and did not comply with moving into position.

Deputies said he backed away from the table and moved to the left, away from the tether. Two deputies then placed their open hands on his side and back to guide him back to the table, and he pushed back.

They said he would not move forward, and when they brought the ankle restraint forward, Brooks tensed up, put his hands in the air, and leaned over the table.

Deputies said his legs were “locked” while they tried to secure the restraint, so one deputy put his foot under Brooks’ heel to push his foot forward.

The deputy said each time he tried, the table just slid forward, which indicated to him Brooks was keeping his legs locked. The deputy also wrote he could feel Brooks pushing hard against his leg.

After the third try to move his foot, the deputy kneeled to the ground and was able to take control of the tether, while another deputy held onto the restraints.

Brooks remained tense and resistive, but the deputy was successful.

Deputies said Brooks became “verbally aggressive and upset.”

At one point, deputies said he picked up his shoe and grabbed it “like you would a small club.” He lunged forward toward a deputy while bringing the shoe to his side, pulling the table one to two feet with him.

“I thought Darrell Brooks was going to use the footwear to either strike out and hit Dep. Lyles or throw it at him based on the way he brought it to his side,” Dep. Chad Stenulson said.

Stenulson said Lyles flinched and brought up his hand.

Brooks brought the shoe down to his side, still clinched in his right hand, according to the incident report. Stenulson said he attempted to take the shoe from Brooks, but he would not let go.

“I was afraid if I released [the shoe], he might use it or throw it as his actions had indicated,” Stenulson said.

He continued to say after about 15 seconds, he was able to get it from Brooks. Stenulson said Brooks then grabbed a small bottle of water and turned back toward Lyles, but set it down.

From there, deputies said Brooks removed his shirt, put his hands into fists, and flailed his arms “like he was preparing for a fight.”

Stenulson said Brooks told them, “Why don’t you just try me now?”

Brooks then sat on the table.

Stenulson said in the incident report, Brooks had said during the three days prior to this incident, he was getting “froggy,” and if someone touched him wrong, “they will find out.”

Brooks also asked deputies on that same day if the only way to get respect was to flip tables and throw stuff. That same day, Stenulson said, he swiped his binder and papers on the floor.

The incident report said deputies checked injuries reported by Brooks from the incident, but the injuries are redacted from the report. In court, Brooks said he had cuts and bruises.
