A fired Atlanta police officer who faces a slew of charges connected<\/a> to the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks will spend the weekend behind bars, a judge ruled on Friday.<\/p>\n

Garrett Rolfe waived his right to make his first appearance before a judge on Friday, one day after he surrendered <\/a>and was booked on 11 counts including felony murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, criminal damage to property and violation of oath.<\/p>\n

Fulton County Magistrate Court Judge Jeffrey Frazier said the seriousness of charges against Rolfe prevented him from setting bail on Friday. Court records showed that a bond hearing for Rolfe has been scheduled for Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

Exactly one week ago<\/a>, on June 12, Rolfe and fellow officer Devin Brosnan answered a call to a Wendy’s<\/a> about a man asleep behind the wheel in the restaurant’s drive-through lane.<\/p>\n

Brooks, a 27-year-old Black man,, appeared to be cooperative as he answered officers’ questions for more than 25 minutes, body- and dash-camera video shows.<\/p>\n

After he allegedly failed a field sobriety test, he struggled with the officers as they tried to arrest him, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is investigating the shooting.<\/p>\n

During the struggle, Brooks was able to grab one of the officer’s stun guns and was running away with it before he was shot twice in the back,<\/a> officials said. The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled Brooks’ death a homicide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In announcing charges against the officers on Wednesday, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said Brooks “never presented himself as a threat” and appeared “almost jovial.”<\/p>\n

The victim followed every instruction from the officers and was never informed that he was under arrest for driving under the influence, according to Howard.<\/p>\n

The other officer, Brosnan, was charged with one count of aggravated assault and two counts of violation of oath. He was booked briefly into custody on Thursday and released<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
