During his arraignment, Salinas had an attorney present who asked the judge to issue a bond of $10,000 for the tampering charge and $20,000 for manslaughter. He claimed Salinas self-surrendered to the Alamo Police Department and has been "very cooperative" with the investigation.

The judge said an entire week had passed since the crash and claimed Salinas was a flight risk since he travels to Mexico.

An arrest warrant has been issued for a second person in connection with the investigation. Maria Guadalupe Salinas, 64, was identified as a passenger at the time of the crash.
