An illegal alien with a history of drunk driving arrests has been charged with DUI manslaughter after a 6-year-old boy was struck and killed in Florida last week.
The horrifying incident unfolded at around 4:45 p.m. on Jan. 18 in Orange County.
The driver of a Chevrolet Suburban blew a stop sign in a residential neighborhood, striking a child who was riding a bicycle, according to a crash report reviewed by Click Orlando.
The driver continued onward, reportedly unaware of the collision or that he was dragging the victim under his SUV until bystanders stopped him.
The boy, identified as Emiliano Garcia, was rushed to AdventHealth Apopka where he was pronounced dead.
Francisco Rosillo Arriola, 53, was taken into custody and hit with a slew of charges, including DUI manslaughter, DUI third violation, vehicular homicide, no driver’s license causing death, and running a stop sign.
Investigators say Arriola had “bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and smelled of alcohol after the crash.”
Florida State Highway troopers confirmed he is illegally present in the U.S. but his nationality remains unclear.
Arriola has been arrested twice before for driving under the influence, as recently as October, which led to the suspension of his license.
However, he was allowed to remain in the U.S.
