Prosecutors allege Angeles Vargas had a blood alcohol level of .206 percent in the current case, and had a .21 percent blood alcohol level in the 2016 case.
SAN DIEGO - A man accused of driving drunk, fatally striking a toddler in City Heights with an SUV, then leaving the scene, was ordered Friday to stand trial on charges that include murder.
Preliminary hearing testimony indicated Angeles Vargas attended a baby shower on nearby 39th Street just prior to the alleged fatality collision. A witness took a picture of the suspect's SUV, which captured the license plate. That picture was provided to police and the car was found to be registered to the defendant's wife, according to testimony.
San Diego police Officer Christopher Lingenhol, one of the officers who arrested the defendant at his home, testified that he saw the 4Runner pull into the residence's driveway with significant difficulty, requiring multiple attempts to park the vehicle.
