A West Mobile man wanted for sex crimes with minors kills himself moments before Mobile Police arrest him.

Donald Clark Brooks is accused of luring at least three teens into his house on Wakulla drive. Police tell us that Brooks used alcohol and even offered side jobs to get the boys into his home. Once there, a victim's mother tells us that he would threaten the teens with guns and force them to have sex. The mother also told us that Brooks installed cameras outside his house to keep an eye on the boys while they were on his property.

Police had 11 warrants for Brooks ranging from sex abuse to sodomy. They were headed to arrest him on Wednesday morning but never got their guy. As police pulled into his driveway, Brooks shot himself in the head. He later died at the hospital.

Two of his victims were 15. The youngest boy was only 13.

Mobile Police tell us that Brooks served time for sex crimes in the late 1980's but that was before the Community Notification Act. Since Brooks never moved after the law was passed, he didn't have to register as a sex offender.

Brooks was also reportedly charged with sex abuse in 1993 but that case was dismissed. He also had a sodomy charge in 2002 but was never indicted.

I am 16 years old and I personally knew this man very well. I am so shocked that he would do something like this because he was a very sweet man. My cousins and i would always go swimming in his lake and my cousins used to go help him work around the house but he never messed with them to my knowledge. I am so disgusted that i talked to someone like this. Parents please keep a closer eye on the adults your children are around.

The child advocacy center is a joke. My daughter was molested at the age of three and they would not do anything about it. It looks as though the child advocacy center gets paid to do nothing.

Thank goodness we don’t have to support this idiot while he’s in jail and “going thru the system” pleading NOT GUILTY. Anyone that would do something like this needs to die.

I think they all need to be shot in the head.

I wish they would all shoot themselves in the head so the taxpayers would not have to pay for court costs and for what little time they would actually serve locked up and then have to live in fear for where they will show up next.
