36-year-old Moore has a long criminal history with repeated DWI arrests going back nearly 15 years, reports NBCDFW.
He is expected to be charged with felony intoxication manslaughter, intoxication assault and DWI.
Moore, who is hospitalized with injuries that are not life threatening, was remotely booked into the Dallas County Jail on three charges, intoxication manslaughter, intoxication assault causing vegetative state and driving with a suspended license.
With Nunn’s passing, Dallas police said the intoxication assault charge will be changed to a second charge of intoxication manslaughter.
Just three days prior to the fatal crash, a breathalyzer device and alcohol monitor were removed from Moore’s car and ankle. He’d just completed a 5-year probation for driving while intoxicated in 2013.
