A Texas teen accused of fatally crashing into a homeless woman while driving under the influence had also tried to bribe witnesses to let him go.
Hunter Cameron Villasana, 17, was arrested Friday night shortly after he mowed down a homeless woman sleeping in the median of a Houston roadway.
The teen was reportedly drunk and speeding erratically when he rammed his black Mercedes into a curb while making a turn.
Police pronounced the victim dead at around 11:30 p.m. after they were called by workers of a nearby Jack in the Box restaurant.
The workers told detectives Villasana offered them Venmo payments to let him leave the crash scene, something they refused.
“Drunk driving or intoxicated driving is a plague in Harris County,” Prosecutor Matthew Bergeron said.
“Harris County, please do not drive under the influence, do not drive intoxicated, call a friend, call an Uber, anything to avoid this situation.”
