Video of a driver hitting a bicyclist and fleeing from the scene was viewed thousands of times on social media.
That driver — who pleaded guilty in that case — has reportedly violated the terms of his release.
According to reports, Marshall Grant Neely was out of jail waiting for his sentencing when he admitted he was drinking excessively, but he's not supposed to be drinking at all.
Authorities said Neely admitted to drinking half a pint of vodka every day for the last few weeks.
He pleaded guilty in May to reckless aggravated assault, lying to a federal agent, and obstruction of justice.
The wreck happened in July 2017 and was captured on a helmet-mounted camera worn by the victim's cycling partner. View the video above (warning: graphic language).
Neely first said he had no idea he'd hit anyone until he saw the video. That cyclist was badly bruised from the crash.
As part of the plea agreement, Neely was set to serve ten months in prison, followed by three years supervised release.
He was allowed to stay with his sister in New York before his sentencing, which has been scheduled for August 17.
Neely will now be back in court on July 6, so a judge can consider this violation of his release.
