Sijamhodzic was arrested earlier this month after a toxicology report showed he had Xanax and marijuana in his system at the time of the crash in August.
Jackson (pictured right), a Wolfson High School drum major, was ranked third in her senior class. Family and friends say she dreamed of becoming a nurse practitioner.
According to the police report, Sijamhodzic told investigators he hadn't slept in three days prior to the Aug. 28 accident.
He has a lengthy list of traffic violations and speeding tickets dating back to 1996, according to court records. Sijamhodzic was arrested in 2009 and was charged with providing alcohol to a minor.
