Darrell Brooks, who recently drove his SUV through a Waukesha, Wisconsin, parade that killed six and wounded over 60, is also a registered sex offender in Nevada.

Brooks, 39, was charged with statutory sexual seduction in Nevada in 2007, according to the Daily Mail. The charge is otherwise known as having sex with a minor under the age of 16. He also failed to notify police of an address change, a requirement for registered sex offenders. 

That's not where his criminal record ends, as he was charged in March 2007 for calling in a bomb threat to the $43-per-night Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada, according to the Daily Mail.

Banned from the Nugget for life, Brooks was put on probation after a conviction of conspiring to disturb the peace which is a gross misdemeanor, according to the Daily News.

The circumstances of why he placed the threatening call are unknown, according to Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail reported that Brooks punched the mother of his child in an attempt to run her over with his vehicle on Nov. 2, two weeks before the parade in Wisconsin.

NBC Chicago reported that the victims that died from the attack include an 8-year-old boy, an 81-year-old man, a 79-year-old woman, a 71-year-old woman and two 52-year-old women.
