Kyle Rittenhouse Murder Trial: Sole Shooting Survivor & Star Witness Gaige Grosskreutz Has A Lengthy Criminal Past
Nov. 16 2021, Published 11:26 a.m. ET
Gaige Grosskreutz, the only survivor to be shot by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha last summer, reportedly has a criminal record that shows a long history of run-ins with the law.
According to The Post, the 28-year-old shooting victim has a criminal record that is comprised of offenses such as burglary, drunk driving, and even one domestic incident. Although Grosskreutz testified before the court at Rittenhouse’s trial for murder last week as a star witness and provided the court with crucial information regarding the August 25, 2020 shootings, there was reportedly no mention of his criminal past.
According to the outlet, just six days before testifying as a witness at Rittenhouse's trial, Grosskreutz reportedly appeared before a different court in connection to a drunk driving charge. It was allegedly dismissed due to a technicality.
Even though the 28-year-old’s drunk driving charge is recent, his criminal record reportedly dates back more than 10 years.
According to police in West Allis, Wisconsin – a city less than one hour from Kenosha – Grosskreutz was arrested for allegedly prowling around one of the city’s police departments and videotaping cop cars around 1 AM. This incident reportedly took place on August 16, 2020 – a little more than a week before the Rittenhouse shootings.
