Prosecutors are seeking an arrest warrant for Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old charged with homicide after protests turned deadly in Kenosha, Wisconsin, last August, after he was released on bond.

Prosecutors are also asking the court to raise Rittenhouse’s bond for charges in two homicides, according to WISN 12 News reporter Derrick Rose.

Prosecutors realized Rittenhouse’s address listed at the time of his release was not accurate anymore after attempting to deliver a hearing notice to the home, the outlet reported. Rittenhouse reportedly failed to provide the court with a change of address, according to the outlet. Prosecutors filed a motion Wednesday requesting the court increase his bail by $200,000 since he allegedly violated the terms of his release.

Rittenhouse’s attorney, who objected to the latest bond increase, said the family had moved to a “safe house” after receiving death threats. Attorney Mark Richards said Rittenhouse’s defense team attempted to reach out and disclose the new address on the stipulation that it be filed under seal, the outlet reported.

Prosecutors, however, refused the request, WISN 12 News reported.

Before reportedly failing to provide the court with a change of address, Rittenhouse was spotted out at a bar with a parental guardian wearing a shirt that said “free as f*ck,” as previously reported.

Prosecutors wrote in the motion filed Wednesday that Rittenhouse “demonstrated his carefree attitude by going to a bar immediately after his arraignment on Jan. 5, 2021, and drinking 3 beers in the company of known ‘Proud Boys’ while flashing white supremacist signs and wearing a ‘Free as (expletive) shirt,” according to WISN 12 News.

Rittenhouse was originally released from jail in November on a $2 million cash bond, as previously reported.

Rittenhouse has been accused of murdering two protesters, Anthony Huber, 26, and Joseph Rosenbaum, 36, while injuring 22-year-old Gaige Grosskreutz, during civil unrest ignited by the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha. He faces six charges from the shooting, including first-degree intentional homicide and attempted intentional homicide.

Rittenhouse has pleaded not guilty to all charges, according to the Associated Press.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
