A Texas man with two prior DWI convictions fatally struck a pedestrian and was found with an arm in his vehicle when police stopped him, authorities said.
Juan Morgan Muñoz, 31, was drunk when he hit and killed a pedestrian with his vehicle early Saturday morning in Dallas, Fox Dallas reported. At the time he was on probation for a previous DWI.

He is charged with felony DWI and collision resulting in death.
Munoz called 911 a half-hour after the fatal incident involving his BMW and said he continued driving to his employer at Maaco Auto Body Shop, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the television station.
When stopped in the auto shop parking lot, officers noticed the white BMW had a “hole in the front passenger windshield” and “an entire arm in the front passenger seat” along with blood. Additionally, Muñoz had “glassy/watery eyes, slurred speech, and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage.”
