Darrell Brooks is seen in his 2007 mugshot after being arrested in Nevada
The man accused of murdering five after mowing them down in his car during a Wisconsin holiday parade was previously convicted for threatening to bomb a casino, DailyMail.com can reveal.
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.
The would-be rapper was put on probation after being convicted of conspiring to disturb the peace - a gross misdemeanor - and was banned from the Nugget for life.
The circumstances of why he placed the threatening call are unknown.
His rap sheet also includes a conviction for statutory sexual seduction – the term for sex with a minor aged 16 or under in Nevada law – in January 2007 and another of failing to inform the police of a change of address while a registered sex offender.
The latter two counts both relate to the mother of his child – named in Wisconsin court papers as 'EAP' – who he punched and tried to run over at a gas station in Milwaukee on November 2.

Brooks is charged with five murders after he allegedly plowed his red Ford SUV into the annual Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, this weekend
Court papers seen by DailyMail.com show Brooks is still wanted in Nevada for failing to appear on the change of address charge after he missed a court date in August 2016.
Records from the Sparks Criminal Justice Center show the warrant has been renewed three times – most recently in January 2021.
Brooks is now set to be charged with five counts of first-degree homicide following Sunday's tragedy which saw him plow into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in his red SUV killing five and injuring 40.
Eyewitnesses said Brooks was fleeing from the police when his Ford Escape barreled into families enjoying the parade at approximately 4.39pm.
The car sped through three city blocks before smashing through a barrier and speeding off. Brooks was apprehended 20 minutes later outside a suburban home where he was filmed hammering on the door and asking for a sandwich.
The victims have been named as Virginia Sorenson, 79, LeAnna Owen, 71, Tamara Durand, 52, Jane Kulich, 52, and Wilhelm Hospel, 81.
DailyMail.com previously revealed how Brooks had only been released from jail two days before the incident on a $1,000 bond.
