*Rayshard Brooks was on probation for four crimes – including cruelty to children – at the time of his fatal shooting by an Atlanta police officer on Friday. 

According to the Daily Mail, Brooks faced going back to prison if charged with a DUI, when he was found asleep and intoxicated at Wendy’s drive-thru on June 12.

The 27-year-old was initially compliant but after he failed a field sobriety test, Brooks resisted when cops tried to cuff him and he attempted to flee.

He died from 3 gunshot wounds to the back during the altercation with police. He reportedly succumbed to his injuries after undergoing surgery.

His death has been ruled a homicide, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Now DailyMail.com has uncovered his criminal record, which may have caused Brooks to panic in the face of imminent arrest and imprisonment.
