Brooks went in a stranger's home for help
After the parade tragedy, Brooks was seen on a Ring doorbell video asking a Waukesha resident for help.
Daniel Rider, 24, told CNN he was in his recliner watching football on Sunday, unaware of what happened at the parade.
He said a man later identified as Brooks rang his doorbell and asked to use his phone to call an Uber, saying he was homeless.
Rider's family had recently told him about a sermon calling on everyone to help the homeless. So he invited Brooks in, made him a sandwich and let him use his phone.
Rider said Brooks smelled of marijuana, but he didn't feel threatened by the man in his home.
When he saw police going up and down his street, he had a feeling it was related to Brooks. So he asked Brooks to leave, and he did.
Brooks then returned, claiming his ID was left in the house, but Rider wouldn't open the door.
Police told Brooks to put up his hands and arrested him in front of Rider's home.
"Uber showed up maybe a minute after he was in custody," Rider said. "So I just think about sometimes if he'd gotten in that car, what could have happened?"
