The backseat passenger, Ryan Slingerland, 16, of Knox, died at the scene. Moore's girlfriend, Ashley Overbaugh, 19, of Berne, was severely injured in the crash.
At the time, police said Moore did not admit he was driving the car, but an investigation found that he was driving with only a Learner's Permit. They said he was driving recklessly at a high rate of speed.
Moore was arrested Wednesday and charged with criminally negligent homicide and third-degree assault.
