Dozens of people were hurt in the Sunday afternoon crash.
Six people were killed and dozens were hurt when an SUV driver barreled into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Sunday afternoon, authorities said.
The suspect, 39-year-old Darrell Brooks, is in custody, authorities said.
The suspect, Darrell Brooks, is a registered sex offender in Nevada, where he was convicted in 2006 of impregnating a 15-year-old.
As a result of that conviction, Brooks was arrested 10 years later when he failed to obey sex offender laws. He bailed out on the charge but never returned to court, according to police in Sparks, Nevada. A warrant was issued on Aug. 15, 2016 for that failure to appear.

Darrell Brooks, the man suspected of plowing his car into the Christmas parade, is set to make his first court appearance at 5 p.m. ET Tuesday.
The initial charges against Brooks, 39, are five counts of first-degree intentional homicide.
Members of the Waukesha, Wisconsin, community gathered at a candlelight vigil Monday evening to honor the victims who were killed and injured at the Christmas parade the day before.
Hundreds of people gathered at the event, which was hosted by the Association of Waukesha Congregations, the Brookfield-Elm Grove Interfaith Network and the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee.
The identifies of the victims are continuing to be released.
Darrell Brooks, the suspect accused of driving into a Christmas parade on Sunday, killing five, was arrested earlier this month for using a 2010 maroon Ford Escape to run over the mother of his child, according to court documents.
This appears to be the same vehicle used to plow through the parade.
In early November, a woman told police Brooks had pulled up beside her following an earlier domestic dispute and instructed her to get into his car, the documents said. When she refused, Brooks hit her in the face with a closed fist, according to the criminal complaint.
As she walked away through a gas station parking lot, Brooks “intentionally” ran her over with his car, the complaint said.
Brooks, 39, is set to make his first court appearance on Tuesday in connection to Sunday's incident. He is charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide, police said.
