Quite a few, actually.

This story is sketchy, but particularly given he was DWI, I suppose it's conceivable he's telling the truth.

Either way, he's being charged for the crimes committed ... and presumably if prosecutors find evidence he was up to other illegal things, they'll add those chargers.
