MILWAUKEE (AP) - Authorities say a man accused in a fatal hit-and-run in Milwaukee has been arrested after being followed by a witness.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (https://bit.ly/1PkRHuO ) reports 34-year-old Alvaro Canseco-Hernandez was charged Wednesday with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, among other charges. He’s accused of driving his pickup while drunk on May 8 and hitting 59-year-old Anthony P. Orosco, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
A criminal complaint says Canseco-Hernandez drove away from the scene, and a witness in another vehicle followed him. According to the complaint, the witness saw a marked police car and alerted an officer to the pickup. The officer chased Canseco-Hernandez before he eventually pulled over.
Authorities say Canseco-Hernandez told police he drank 14 to 17 beers before driving.
His attorney declined to comment Thursday.
