The violence of the crash destroyed both vehicles and indicate the defendant’s speed was above the 25mph limit. … [The victim] suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury. His prognosis us still pending, but he is currently suffering paralysis below the neck after a first surgery. Police contacted the defendant who denied being associated with the crash at all. He was belligerent and uncooperative. He yelled various nonsensical statements, like “print that money.” He told a Drug Recognition Expert Officer (DRE) that he took several prescription drugs including Xanax but could not say what he took. A baggie of marijuana was recovered in his pocket. His speech was slurred and at one point said he might have fallen asleep while driving. He exhibited extreme mood swings and had HGN [horizontal gaze nystagmus], but then could not complete the procedure. He was aggressive and threatening to the medical staff.
