Body Cam Footage Reveals Details of Dillon Brooks’ January Traffic Stop.
An incident report, obtained by The California Post on Tuesday, shows a Scottsdale Police Department officer stopped Brooks on Jan. 12 after the Suns guard’s driving made them nervous about the possibility he could cause a “catastrophic collision” in a congested, pedestrian-heavy part of the city.
Brooks was going 85 MPH in a 45 MPH zone in a 2019 Rolls-Royce Wraith, according to the report, which caused the cop to become “increasingly concerned about the extreme risk of a catastrophic collision or the vehicle striking a pedestrian.”“Several businesses in the area were open and operating,” the cop wrote in the report. “A collision at such speeds could have resulted in multiple fatalities or serious physical injuries.” Brooks was pulled over just after midnight, and body cam footage from the stop shows he actually asked the officer, “You pull me over because I’m speeding?”Judge rules on Jets legend's $25M lawsuit against ESPN over Brett Favre dramaThe cop responded yes, and after getting Brooks’ information, the basketball player was cited for reckless driving and released. Court records show Brooks, 30, is now facing two misdemeanors over the issue -— one count of reckless driving and one count of exceeding speed limit by 20/45 MPH — and is due to appear before a judge in early April.Brooks was later arrested by the Scottsdale Police Department on March 6 — some seven weeks after his January run-in with cops — after authorities alleged he was driving under the influence.Whether or not Brooks faces criminal charges over that matter “is up to the City prosecutor’s office,” the Scottsdale Police Department said.Joseph StaszewskiStream It Or Skip It: 'The Madison' On Paramount+, Where Michelle Pfeiffer Is A New York Woman Who Goes To Montana To Deal With Her Grief After A Tragedy
