FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The Latest on the arrest of Zachary Cruz, the brother of alleged Florida high school shooter Nikolas Cruz (all times local):
10:15 a.m.
The brother of the Florida high school shooting suspect is in jail for violating the terms of his probation.
Palm Beach County jail records show Zachary Cruz was arrested Tuesday on a warrant from neighboring Broward County.
The warrant says Nikolas Cruz’s 18-year-old brother was stopped last week for driving without a license and was within 25 feet of a Lake Worth high school.
Nikolas Cruz is accused of killing 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February.
Zachary Cruz is on six months’ probation after pleading no contest in March for trespassing at the Parkland school. He was ordered to not enter any school unless enrolled.
Attorney Joseph Kimok represented Cruz on the trespassing charge. He said it is unusual for probation to be violated for driving without a license and Cruz is not banned from being near a school other than Stoneman Douglas.
