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.

In his first comments on the deadly crash, President Joe Biden said Monday, "While we don't have all the facts and details yet, we know this morning that five families in Waukesha are facing fresh grief of a life without a loved one."

"At least 40 Americans are suffering from injuries, some of them in critical condition, and an entire community is struggling, struggling to cope with the horrific act of violence," Biden said.


"Last night, the people of Waukesha were gathered to celebrate the start of a season of hope and togetherness and Thanksgiving," he continued. "This morning, Jill and I and the entire Biden family, and I'm sure all of us, pray that that same spirit is going to embrace and lift up all the victims of this tragedy, bringing recovery from the injuries and wrapping the families of those who died in support of their community."

The administration is "monitoring the situation very closely," Biden added.
