Prosecutors say in March Loomis was driving drunk when his truck crossed the center line and crashed into a car killing Melissa Nash and Justin Ducham.

Loomis has two prior drunk driving arrests in 2014 and 2017. Court records also show he was also previously arrested for having an open intoxicant in a motor vehicle.

Loomis remains in the Muskegon County jail.
