I don't know about the US, but it is generally very easy: go to the ISP with the IP+date and an order from a judge and they'll tell you who was using it.

IP only tells the investigator whose name is on the ISP account, not which person was at the keyboard. Your recommendation only helps the police know where to set up the surveillance, not who to bring charges against.

They'll tell you who pays for the connection. They can't reliably tell you who uses it. Maybe it was a family member, roommate or anybody who knows the wifi password.
