Chief Assistant District Attorney Teresa Heinz said Gomez, whose native country is Honduras, is in America illegally, according to WKRG-TV.
According to Heinz, Gomez’s blood alcohol was .22 when it was taken three hours after the accident.
The University of Toledo noted that is almost three times the legal limit, and would leave a person in a dazed and confused state.
At the time of the crash, the vehicle in which Gomez and the daughter of his girlfriend were riding was traveling at 68 mph in a 45 mph zone, WKRG reported.

Initially, Gomez was charged with driving under the influence and first-degree assault.
WKRG reported that it was told the crash happened after an argument in which the mother of the victim and a dog left the vehicle.
According to WALA-TV, the 6-year-old was critically injured in the accident and later passed away, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said Tuesday.
The ALEA said the girl was not in a child safety seat or other restraint at the time of the crash and was ejected from the 2003 GMC Yukon when it crashed.
