New Orleans terror attack suspect Shamsud-Din Jabbar arrested in 2020 for DWI
Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the suspect in the New Orleans terror attack, had a history of legal troubles, including arrests and convictions spanning two decades, according to court and police records.
In 2020, Jabbar was arrested in Missouri City, Texas, on charges of driving while intoxicated (DWI) and possession of an open alcohol container, records from the county indicate. He was released after posting a $500 bond.
The resolution of this case remains unclear, and inquiries to the local district attorneyโs office have not yet been answered.
That same month, during his divorce proceedings, a Texas judge issued a restraining order against Jabbar at the request of his second wife.
The restraining orderโs specifics were not disclosed, but it was granted as part of an ongoing legal dispute.
Jabbarโs criminal history also includes other incidents with law enforcement. In 2015, he pleaded guilty to charges related to driving under the influence.
Earlier in his life, in December 2002, he admitted guilt to a misdemeanor theft charge involving property valued between $50 and $500.
The revelations about Jabbarโs past are part of the ongoing investigation into his background and possible motives for the New Orleans attack.
Law enforcement officials are examining these prior incidents as they work to piece together a comprehensive profile of the suspect.
