The motive behind the incident remains unknown. One report indicated the driver might have been fleeing another crime scene before driving into the parade route, and terrorism is not a suspected factor as of yet. Daily Mail obtained a mugshot of Brooks from the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Office relating to a previous arrest, and they state that he has a lengthy criminal history for charges that include battery, disorderly conduct, reckless endangerment of safety and resisting arrest.
