TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) A driver has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run last weekend that injured two Arizona State University students, Tempe police said Tuesday.
They said 39-year-old Sheldon Whitebird of Mesa is being held on an arrest warrant from an unrelated incident in which he was suspected of driving under the influence.
Police also said new charges against Whitebird were pending because his driver’s license may have been revoked at the time of Saturday’s incident for an alleged DUI offense.
They said impairment was being investigated as a possible factor in the hit-and-run at a Tempe intersection that occurred about 6 p.m.
