A tip from a wrecker driver led to the arrest of a motorist who allegedly hit and killed a bicyclist Saturday in Galveston, officials said.
Daryl Leslie Harris, 33, who was already in the Galveston County Jail after being arrested Sunday on a controlled-substance charge, was arrested Wednesday and charged with accident involving injury or death, a third-degree felony, said Lt. Michael Gray, spokesman at the Galveston Police Department.
Harris had begun serving a six-month jail sentence after pleading guilty to the controlled-substance possession and now is being held on $50,000 bond for the accident charge, Gray said.
Police tracked down Harris after a wrecker driver towed a Nissan Juke that appeared to have been involved in an auto-pedestrian accident, according to Gray.
The 70-year-old pedestrian, Edward Eugene Proctor, was riding his bicycle in the 2900 block of Avenue N when he was fatally struck by the motorist, who fled the scene, police said.
Harris, who was already in jail on unrelated charges, admitted his role in the fatal accident, Gray said.
