Before Iryna Zarutska, there were other victims on Decarlos Brown Jr.’s rap sheet.
The man charged with stabbing the 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee to death on a Charlotte train last month had already been arrested at least 14 times in North Carolina for crimes ranging from assault and firearms possession to felony robbery and larceny dating back to 2007, the New York Post reported.
