KENOSHA â The Kenosha County District Attorney s Office doubled-down on its demand for Kyle Rittenhouse to declare his current home address in a publicly accessible plea agreement on Thursday, after Rittenhouse s defense team argued in an objection that by doing so, the 18-year-old s life may be put in danger.
On Wednesday, the DA s Office asked the Kenosha County Court to issue an arrest warrant for Rittenhouse and hike his bond by $200,000 after they say Rittenhouse s defense did not file his current home address in his initial plea agreement last November. Rittenhouse was released from jail on a $2 million bond paid by supporters.
Prosecutors in Kenosha, Wis., sought an arrest warrant for Kyle Rittenhouse, an Illinois teen charged with killing two men during racial justice protests over the summer, after he allegedly violated his bail terms.
