Prosecutors request arrest warrant for Kyle Rittenhouse after he allegedly violates bond
Wisconsin prosecutors filed a motion on Wednesday requesting an arrest warrant and bond increase against Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager who was charged with killing two people during protests in Kenosha last summer.
Rittenhouse, 18, allegedly violated the conditions of his bond by failing to notify the court of his changed address, which inhibits the ability to monitor his whereabouts, according to the Kenosha County District Attorney's Office. A notice for a hearing was returned to the sender without a forwarding address, a court filing from Thursday.
Prosecutors argued that because Rittenhouse did not post the bond for his release himself, he has maintained a careless attitude about his situation and has little incentive to comply with his bond conditions.
"After all, it is extremely unusual for a defendant facing a charge of First Degree Intentional Homicide in Kenosha County to post cash bond and be released from custody pending trial," the motion said. "Rarely does our community see accused murderers roaming about freely."
Rittenhouse was released from Kenosha County Jail on a $2 million bond in November following donations made to his legal defense fund, largely by right-wing activists and conservative celebrities.
The motion requests the court issue a warrant for Rittenhouse's arrest and to increase the teenager's bond by $200,000. It also asks the court to order Rittenhouse to update his address immediately.
Mark Richards, an attorney for Rittenhouse, did not immediately respond to a phone call and email requesting comment from NBC News. Richards told NBC affiliate WTMJ that he is looking into a response to the motion.

Rittenhouse allegedly killed Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, and Anthony Huber, 26, when he traveled to Wisconsin last year to guard a car dealership during the protests that took place after the Aug. 23 shooting of Jacob Blake.
He is also accused of injuring a third man, Gaige Grosskreutz, who had a handgun.
The court had only just modified the release conditions of Rittenhouse's bond on Jan. 22, after the teenager was spotted at a bar.
Prosecutors filed a motion after Rittenhouse was spotted with his mother at a local bar in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, on Jan. 5, the same day he pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
Rittenhouse was photographed in a shirt that read "Free as F***," while flashing the "OK" sign — a gesture that has been co-opted by known white supremacist groups, the motion said. He was seen consuming alcohol while being serenaded by a group of adult men who sang the Proud Boys' anthem, according to the motion.
The state of Wisconsin allows those under the age of 21 to drink alcohol if they are with a parent, though it is illegal in Illinois where Rittenhouse was residing.
Rittenhouse is barred from drinking alcohol and prohibited from associating with any group or person known to menace others on the basis of things like race or religion. He can't have any weapons.

last I heard, prison isn't segregated. bummer. sucks being him.
The little shit believes he can do whatever he pleases. He should be behind bars until trial
I wonder if Ricky Schroeder and Mike Lindell are questioning their own generosity in the matter. Lin Wood, one of the defendant's attorneys, co-founded a fundraising campaign for Mr. Rittenhouse. He issued a statement that Schroeder and Lindell's generous contributions put the fundraising efforts well over the needed $2 million.
They're not getting that money back now
Keep his butt in jail where he belongs
Wow, I guess not too many people are interested in having no cash bonds now, huh?
Oh please do post a link that shows that ANYONE was interested in no cash bonds for those charged with MURDER.
not what I wrote, now is it?

So now he won't even tell them where he is...
I am getting that affluenza teen vibe from him.

What gets me is, he acts like he has no remorse. Not a care in the world.
Watch that his attorney comes out and says that he had to go into hiding because of death threats.
...and that would be to cover his own ass for not keeping a better eye on his client's shenanigans.
Well they did just about that. Said that he had to be in a safe house and that the chief of police told them to put down the wrong address.
Saying that he needs to be in a safe house for his safety.
I guess his safehouse is a bar...
If that is true, I hope the cop gets charged with aiding and abetting a fugitive.
They should have put an ankle monitor on him
So you're saying his attorney disobeyed a judges order?
You can tell him that after he is disbarred and working at McDonalds.
What evidence do you have that he tried to keep his clients records under seal? Got a link?
If the attorney intentionally falsified a court document or counseled his client to do so, he should be brought up on ethics charges.
Think that new safe house is within walking distance of the bar he's been photographed in?
Wow, thanks for the non-responsive link Jim.
You know that Richard's has NO unilateral authority to keep Kyle's records under seal or to set any limitations on the court or the DA right?
You know what Richard's did Wednesday doesn't mitigate his prior violations right?
BTW, NEITHER of Kyle's lawyers filed a motion to hold Lyle's records under seal. They're using that bullshit as an attempt to cover their asses. I hope the judge and the state nails them both.
I find it ironic that they pretend that it's all about security yet they used Kyle's mommy's address. Guess they weren't worried about mommy's safety...
"For now, it's sealed until a judge makes a ruling."
You know what Richard's did Wednesday doesn't mitigate his prior violations right?
Let's wait and see what the judge's ruling is shall we?
Why? That won't change the claim you already posted:
You agree with a lawyer and client that intentionally falsifying a court document. The facts show that they put out a narrative that was bullshit. You seem to have accepted the lawyers BS hook, line and sinker.
Hello McFly!!! I didn't post that.
True, but we do have to admit that it MUST be easier to debate what we want others to say rather than what they DO say, right?
LOL!
Oh my bad, you just agreed with it with a thumbs up.
It’s ok for Greene to talk about assassinating members of congress and create threatening memes for the consumption of her/Trump’s mouthbreathing base, but snowflake Kyle can’t let the authorities even know where he lives while he’s out on bail? Put that piece of shit in prison where he belongs. Greene will probably be in there with him before too long. That fucking cave woman will end up shooting someone soon.
