The suspected drunk driver in a crash that killed an Indianapolis Colts linebacker and his Uber driver had multiple DUI convictions in the Bay Area and had been twice deported since first entering the country illegally over a decade ago, authorities say.

Guatemalan national Manuel Orrego-Savala, 37, remained jailed Tuesday and had not yet been formally charged in the Sunday crash in Indianapolis that killed the Colts’ Edwin Jackson and driver Jeffrey Monroe.

Orrego-Savala — who authorities say also went by Alex Cabrera-Gonsales — entered the country illegally in July 2004, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Nicole Alberico said Tuesday.

Within the next year, he moved to the Bay Area and was arrested in June and August 2005, then charged for separate instances of misdemeanor DUI in Redwood City, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.

Records show he pleaded no contest to both charges and was sentenced to 10 days in county jail, and placed on probation. In early 2006, he was arrested on a misdemeanor drug possession offense, and also pleaded no contest and was given probation.

In September and October 2006, he was arrested in separate instances, again for misdemeanor drug possession, but was charged with a felony because of the aggregating offenses. He was convicted and sentenced to 90 days in jail but was given probation under Proposition 36 guidelines that spared jail from nonviolent drug offenders and ordered him to a mandatory treatment program.

But shortly after that conviction, immigration agents in San Francisco arrested Orrego-Savala for being in the country illegally, and in January 2007, he was deported to Guatemala. Alberico said that sometime in the next two years, Orrego-Savala re-entered the United States, and returned to the Bay Area; in May 2009, he was again sent back to his native country.

It was not immediately clear when he returned to the United States for the third time. But he was in Indianapolis early Sunday and allegedly behind the wheel of a pickup truck that hit Jackson, 26, and Monroe, 54, as they stood outside Monroe’s car along Interstate 70 after Jackson had become ill while Monroe was driving him for Uber, police said.

Investigators said they believe Orrego-Savala, who lives in Indianapolis, was intoxicated and driving without a license, and gave officers a fake name when he was arrested. A breath test administered at the crash scene found his blood-alcohol content was almost 0.24 percent, three times Indiana’s legal limit of 0.08 percent, according to an affidavit.

The suspect appeared Tuesday before a judge who advised him of his rights. Indianapolis television station WRTV reported that Orrego-Savala told the judge through an interpreter: “I wasn’t driving the car. I don’t know why I am here.” Another court hearing was scheduled for Wednesday.

The affidavit said he has had prior run-ins with law enforcement for driving without a valid license and that he was walking away from the crash scene when an Indiana state trooper detained him.

Jackson, who grew up in Atlanta, started eight games for the Colts during the 2016 season, finishing third on the team with 61 tackles. He was considered a possible starter at inside linebacker for the 2017 but missed the season after suffering an injury during training camp.

The 6-foot, 234-pound athlete previously played for the Arizona Cardinals.

President Donald Trump, who has prodded Democrats to work with him on illegal immigration and border security, tweeted Tuesday: “So disgraceful that a person illegally in our country killed @Colts linebacker Edwin Jackson. This is just one of many such preventable tragedies. We must get the Dems to get tough on the Border, and with illegal immigration, FAST!”

In a second tweet, he added, “My prayers and best wishes are with the family of Edwin Jackson, a wonderful young man whose life was so senselessly taken. @Colts.”

Trump’s tweets did not mention Monroe.

Sunday’s deaths come about two months after a jury acquitted a Mexican man in the fatal July 2015 shooting of Pleasanton’s Kate Steinle at Pier 14 in San Francisco, touching off a fierce national immigration debate.

Steinle’s death was often cited by Trump as a reason to crack down on illegal immigration. Since his presidential campaign, he has regularly pointed to crimes connected to illegal immigration as evidence that the U.S. needs to build a wall along the Mexican border and tighten immigration policies. As president, he has threatened to withhold federal funding to cities with sanctuary city policies.
