Juan Morgan Munoz, 31, was drunk when he hit and killed a pedestrian with his vehicle early Saturday morning in Dallas, Fox Dallas reported. He was on probation for a previous DWI at the time.

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