Suspect has outstanding warrant in Nevada

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.
