Elisio Mauala has been arrested June 25 in connection to the Dec. 20 fatal car crash that killed bicyclists Andre Kocher and Scott Mages on FM 455, city officials announced Monday.
On Monday, the Denton County District Attorney issued two arrest warrants for him.
The press release states he was arrested by Pilot Point police at his residence without incident that same morning and is currently in the Denton County Jail.
“A Denton County Grand Jury indicted Eliseo Mauala for two counts of Collision Involving Death (Texas Transportation Code 550.021), both Second Degree Felonies, related to this investigation,” the Monday release said.
The Pilot Point Police Department, along with additional emergency responders from surrounding cities, responded to the incident. In February, the Post-Signal wrote that the police report said “Mauala was unlicensed and it lists the cause of the incident as ‘driver inattention’ and speeding,” about the Dec. 20 crash.
“At this time, our department’s investigation is closed, and this case has been forwarded to the Denton County District Attorney’s Office,” the press release issued Monday said.
