The second one...shows a serious lack of judgment, which frequently happens when drunk - but more to OP's relationship - shows a serious lack of impulse control.
Run, don't walk

The second felony, 15 years later, is a deal-breaker. A DUI would be one thing, but fleeing the scene of an accident and assaulting a police officer is ridiculous -- especially for someone who is probably 40 years old at this point. It's hard to believe that this person has "changed."
