‘Speeding and live streaming is not only dangerous, it is illegal.’
A state trooper took Hofler into custody after he climbed out of the wreckage.
He was charged with reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, driving an uninsured car, making an improper turn and possession of more than an ounce of marijuana, according to the Hartford Courant.
The case is not listed in court records, and it’s unclear if he has an attorney to speak for him.
At the time of the crash, Hofler was free on a $35,000 bond from an October arrest when he was found in possession of more than one ounce of marijuana.
Hofler has a criminal record that dates to 2014. He was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, driving without insurance and possession of marijuana.
