Lake County authorities on Friday afternoon handed off Kyle Rittenhouse to police in Wisconsin, where he faces charges stemming from the fatal shooting of two men and the wounding of a third during August protests in Kenosha, officials said.
Shortly after a judge ruled the Antioch 17-year-old should be extradited, Lake County sheriff’s deputies drove him to the border and passed him to deputies from the Kenosha County sheriff’s department, said Sgt. Christopher Covelli, of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Rittenhouse’ lawyers had argued that he shouldn’t be extradited because the charging documents were insufficient. They also argued that sending him across the border would violate his constitutional rights.
Lake County Judge Paul Novak sided with prosecutors, finding the legal paperwork in order and writing that constitutional challenges to the charges should be raised in Wisconsin, not Illinois.
