The man suspected of driving his SUV into a Christmas parade in Wisconsin is facing five counts of first-degree intentional homicide. On Monday, authorities said Darrell Brooks Junior acted alone and there is no evidence the incident is terror related.

The 39-year-old has a lengthy criminal background of violent felonies dating back 20 years. Court documents show he’s a registered sex offender and was actually out on bail Friday after he allegedly ran his kids mother over with a vehicle at a gas station.

“Earlier this month, he (Brooks )was released on $1,000 bail for trying to*run over the mother of his child. This is heartbreaking and it was also preventable. He was clearly dangerous and released.”
