Pride Intersection Defacer Fails To Appear In Court

Dylan Reese Brewer, the Clearwater man who was caught on video defacing the Delray Beach LGBTQ+ Pride Intersection, was scheduled to be arraigned for his crimes today, but he failed to appear in court.

Via press release from Palm Beach County Human Rights Council:

After an hour, Circuit Court Judge Daliah H. Weiss called the case, and Assistant State Attorney Joseph Kadis, appearing via Zoom, told the court he was ready to move forward. However, when the judge called for Defendant Brewer and his attorney, Richard Ozelie, to come forward, no one did.

Judge Weiss repeated her call to the people in the courtroom and on the Zoom call. She even directed court personnel to go out into the corridor to see if Brewer and Ozelie were there. But they were nowhere to be found.

Judge Weiss then issued a bench warrant directing Dylan Brewer to be picked up and held until he could appear at his arraignment hearing.

Since Brewer is out on bail, his bail bondman will likely pick him up tomorrow. If he is picked up tomorrow, he will probably remain in jail until Tuesday.

Retired Judge Rand Hoch, President and Founder of the Palm Beach County Human Rights Council (PBCHRC), said in a statement: “In addition to having no respect for the property of others and the safety of other people, it appears Dylan Brewer also has no respect for the law and this court.” https://twitter.com/JypsyRose666/status/1758143278397206746 According to police documents, on the night of February 4, Brewer drove his grey Dodge Ram pickup truck through the Pride Intersection three times within ten minutes. By repeatedly speeding and sharply applying his brakes, Brewer intentionally defaced the intersection with “burnouts” in several places. Almost 600 haters have donated over $38,000+ to his GiveSendGo defense fund. The $16,000 crosswalk was created with funding from the PBCHRC and the AIDS Healthcare Foundation in 2021. This is the second time the Delray Beach LGBTQ+ Pride Intersection has been defaced.
