In July, prosecutors charged Juan Hipolito-Gudino with vehicular manslaughter for the death of his cousin, Crescencio Barrientos Blanco, in a drunk driving crash in February 2022. Following this, he was also charged with two misdemeanor counts for allegedly driving under the influence in March 2024, emphasizing a troubling pattern of behavior. These charges highlight the significant dangers associated with drunk driving, especially when it involves relationships, as the victims can often be those close to the offender.
Authorities reported that both incidents involved Hipolito-Gudino being found legally drunk during the arrests. His not guilty plea and continued incarceration reflect a serious ongoing legal situation as he faces grave charges connected not only to a tragic loss of life but also to repeat offenses that put others at risk. The upcoming court date in September will be crucial in determining the outcomes of these serious allegations.
