Video surveillance showed Poole’s vehicle rolling over the women without braking, prosecutors noted.

Police said they administered a breathalyzer test that indicated Poole was impaired and found he smelled of burnt marijuana. He admitted to using marijuana the morning of the crash, and a toxicology report showed that the THC level in Poole’s blood indicated “recent use,” police said.
