RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Following the tragic death of 11-year-old Hailey Brooks at the Raleigh Christmas parade, the father of the truck driver who hit her is now facing a gun charge from that same day.
Christopher Hylton Glass, 49, has been charged with carrying a gun during the Nov. 19 parade in downtown Raleigh, Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman told CBS 17.
This charge, she said, is a misdemeanor and he does not face any charges related to the crash at this time.

- Unsafe movement;
- Carrying a firearm in a parade.
