Darrell Brooks was allowed to go free on $1,000 bail after allegedly ramming his SUV into the mother of his child because the prosecutor in charge of the case “made a mistake,” Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm says.
Brooks was arrested on Nov. 2 after allegedly striking the woman and then running her over.
