The man who recently ran his red SUV through a Wisconsin holiday parade that killed six and wounded 60 is also a wanted man in Nevada after failing to appear in court in 2016 for a separate offense. 

Darrell Brooks, 39, was busted 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.

Put on probation after being convicted of conspiring to disturb the peace which is a gross misdemeanor, Brooks was banned from the Nugget for life, Daily Mail reported.

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

Brooks's criminal record also includes statutory sexual seduction in Nevada in 2007. The charge is otherwise known as having sex with a minor under the age of 16. He failed to notify police of an address change, a requirement for registered sex offenders. 

Two weeks before the Wisconsin parade massacre, Brooks punched the mother of his child in an attempt to run her over with his vehicle on Nov. 2.

“Darrell Brooks shared pro-Hitler memes, called for violence against white people,"  Elizabeth Bastillo said in a Nov. 24 tweet.

Those killed in the attack in Wisconsin 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, according to NBC Chicago.
