A man wanted in Missouri on a charge tied to a hit-and-run earlier this month that killed a woman was arrested Tuesday in Arkansas, according to authorities.
Zachary Davis, 23, is accused of fleeing the scene of a Feb. 4 crash along Missouri 53 near Poplar Bluff that killed Wendy Dumas, said Mark Dobbs, Butler County, Mo. sheriff.
Davis was arrested by Piggott police, who transported him to the Clay County jail. He remained there Wednesday morning, according to jail officials.
Dobbs said he was notified of the arrest at about 7 a.m. Tuesday. The sheriff’s office requested Davis be charged with involuntary manslaughter, Dobbs said.
