Investigators learned that Ferrari was driving under the influence at the time of the crash. Before that, he allegedly cut off a GPS-monitoring bracelet, which was issued before the crash happened.
He also allegedly fled the state after the crash. Officials obtained several warrants and ultimately arrested Ferrari on April 23.
He faces charges including operating under the influence, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, assault with a motor vehicle and more. He is being held on a $1 million bond and is set to appear in court on Wednesday.
