After running a search, the deputy said he found that Chavez’s license was suspended due to previous DUI charges.

Prior to this third arrest, Chavez was arrested on March 5 for driving on the wrong side of the road while under the influence. His first arrest was in March 2020 after he failed a field sobriety test.
