Prosecutors don't know Kyle Rittenhouse's whereabouts, seek arrest warrant

Source: WISN 12

KENOSHA, Wis. — Prosecutors said accused Kenosha protest shooter Kyle Rittenhouse has violated the conditions of his release.

A judge allowed Rittenhouse, now 18, of Antioch, Illinois, to be released in November on $2 million cash bail.

He's currently awaiting trial for the shooting deaths of two men who were protesting the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

Prosecutors filed a motion Wednesday saying the court was unable to deliver a hearing notice for Rittenhouse at the address he listed as his home on his release paperwork. The notice was returned to the court because a forwarding address was not known.

maybe he was at the Capital Jan. 6th?

Prosecutors wrote in their filing Wednesday that Rittenhouse "demonstrated his carefree attitude by going to a bar immediately after his arraignment on Jan. 5, 2021, and drinking 3 beers in the company of known 'Proud Boys' while flashing white supremacist signs and wearing a 'Free as (expletive) shirt."

Kenosha detectives said they went to the apartment Rittenhouse listed as his address and a man said he had rented the apartment since Dec. 15 and Rittenhouse no longer lived there.

Prosecutors said Rittenhouse failed to correct the address on a document signed Jan. 22.

Rittenhouse's attorney has not yet filed a response to the prosecutor's motion

After all, who can afford to skip $2 million bail? Of course, that was other people's money.

Wisconsin prosecutors seek arrest of Kyle Rittenhouse and $200,000 bail increase (Associated Press)

"He posted no money so he has no financial stake in the bond," they wrote. "He is already facing the most serious possible criminal charges and life in prison, so in comparison, potential future criminal penalties are insignificant."

Rittenhouse's attorney, Mark Richards, countered in his own motion Wednesday that death threats have driven Rittenhouse into an "undisclosed Safe House." Richards said he offered to give prosecutors the new address in November if they would keep it secret but they refused. He said Rittenhouse has stayed in constant contact with him.

If his lawyer can't or won't produce him, he should be jailed.

I had a horrible thought, that he's going through militia training at a right wing nut camp somewhere, and they will further weaponize this young racist. He's already charged with 2 murders plus. He will spend most or all of his life in prison when convicted. He's got nothing to lose. Train him to go after any number of Dems, then let him have at it.

I read the article and saw that the lawyer would not disclose their client's location. I wasn't sure if wood was still part of his legal team.

If a suspect on bail goes missing, the lawyer has not ensured that the suspect adheres to the terms of the release. This lawyer claims to know where his client is. Sound like they are covering for him. If the client is ordered to appear, or to notify the court of a change of residence, the lawyer should not enable the suspect to ignore or break those terms. He should have changed his address to a PO box, or c/o his attorney. He fled and left no way to be contacted.

Reminds me of all the rethugs refusing to appear when subpoenaed by Congress. They just did as they pleased and got away with it. Hope the suspect and lawyer face consequences.

The woman involved in these incidents was not identified in the news reports. Schroder was not prosecuted for either allegation of domestic violence.

In November 2020, it was reported that Schroder was a major contributor to the $2 million bail fund for Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year old charged in the fatal shooting of Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz during the unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on August 25, 2020, following the shooting of Jacob Blake.

Ricky Schroder has publicly endorsed alt-right causes such as "Proud Boys", "The Great Awakening", and "Marxist Streaming Media."

That means two things:
