Deputies responded to calls about the hit-and-run crash that involved two vehicles. Deputies said they were able to locate the suspect after the victim gave them the suspect’s vehicle information.
The driver, identified as Sanchez, showed multiple signs of intoxication, officials said.
A series of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests were administered and it was determined that he was driving while intoxicated, deputies said. He was also reportedly found to be in possession of cocaine.
At the time of his arrest, deputies learned that Sanchez had an open warrant out of Brazoria County for driving while intoxicated and had two previous DWI convictions on his record.
He was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail. His bond was set at $50,000.
Charges of possession of a controlled substance may be filed at a later time pending lab results.
