Court records show Stokes freed Brown because he “promised” to return for his hearing. He had been arrested for misusing the 911 system, claiming he had “man-made” material in his body.
Before that, Brown had been arrested at least 14 times, including for robbery with a dangerous weapon and for assaulting his sister.
