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.

Suspect due in court
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.
Vigil held for Christmas parade victims
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.
Driver may have been fleeing previous incident
Based on video evidence and interviews, investigators' preliminary assessment is that the driver wasn't aiming at specific parade participants but was speeding through the route to flee an earlier incident, multiple law enforcement sources told ABC News.
Authorities scoured social media and other digital platforms associated with the person of interest overnight. At this point authorities have no reason to believe there is any connection to radicalization, extremism or the ongoing debate about the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, the sources said.
