- The judge on Sunday mandated incarceration to enforce three orders: removal of a court-ordered electronic bracelet tied to a restraining order, a threats-and-assault case involving a hairdresser, and a new order from the hit-and-run court for failing to appear, issued January 10.
- He faces prosecution for the May 19, 2024 crash on Valencia’s Ronda Nord on counts of serious injury by gross negligence, reckless driving, and leaving the scene, with potential penalties reported at six to seven years.
- Investigations say his BMW ran a red light and entered a crosswalk at 96–118 km/h, striking a child who later endured months of treatment, surgeries, and lasting neurological, ophthalmological, cognitive, and traumatic sequelae.
- Court records show prior convictions in 2022 for robbery with violence, drug trafficking, and a hate-and-threats offense, alongside pending proceedings in separate cases.
