DENVER — A driver accused of hitting three pedestrians — and dragging one under his car for half a block — in downtown Denver early Sunday morning had an "extreme level of intoxication" and was arrested, according to police records.
The driver, identified as Cesario Serrato, 56, was arrested, but has not been formally charged. Court documents show he is being held on a charge of vehicular assault. The Denver District Attorney's Office will make a final determination of criminal charges.
This case started just before 2:30 a.m. on Sunday near Larimer Street and 20th Street. Officers with the Denver Police Department responded to a call about a crash in that area, according to a probable cause statement Denver7 obtained Monday morning.
Police learned that Serrato had been driving his silver 2015 BMW 650 with an expired temporary license plate tag at the time of the incident.
He left a parking lot at 2000 Larimer Street, turned southwest and drove through a red light, where he struck three women between the ages of 19 and 24, who were all walking in a crosswalk and had the right of way, according to the probable cause statement and an update from Denver police.
Two of the pedestrians were "thrown" by the impact, and a third — a 21-year-old woman — was "pulled underneath the vehicle and dragged approximately half a block" until Serrato stopped in traffic, according to the document and DPD spokesperson Doug Schepman.
Schepman told Denver7's Colette Bordelon that officers were already downtown to manage the late-night crowds, so police were able to get to the scene quickly.
"Officers and bystanders had to lift the Defendant's vehicle from the passenger side to free (redacted) from underneath," the probable cause statement reads.

An icepick to the ear hole sounds appropriate. Or just blow his brains out.

Expired temp tags? TEMP TAGS? AND he's Latino?!?! Show of hands, who thinks he even has insurance?
Whatever punishment he gets, it won't be enough.
