Video shows the arrest of Waukesha parade suspect after he went for a sandwich.

Darrell Brooks, the man who drove his car through the Waukesha Christmas parade on Sunday, went to eat a sandwich after the incident that left five people dead and more than 40 injured.

NBC News obtained a video captured in a doorbell camera that shows Brooks in a red shirt shivering and knocking on the front door of resident Daniel Rider a half-mile from the Waukesha Christmas parade route. 


“I called an Uber and I’m supposed to be waiting for it over here, but I don’t know when it’s coming,” Brooks can be heard saying on the video. “Can you call it for me please? I’m homeless.”

Rider told NBC News he was watching football and had no idea what had happened just blocks away 20 minutes earlier, so he invited Brooks into his home, gave him a jacket, let him borrow his phone and made him a sandwich.

“All of a sudden, I look outside my street and I see a few cop cars drive by and I’m getting extra nervous,” he said.


Rider asked Brooks to leave, and he did. But he came back and began “pounding” on Rider’s front door claiming to have left his ID inside his home after Rider’s neighbor called police.
