TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Pima County Sheriff’s officials say a driver has been arrested in the death of a pedestrian in Tucson. They say 35-year-old Lia Lara has been booked into the county jail on suspicion of second-degree murder, leaving the scene of a fatal crash and driving under the influence. Lara is being held on a $500,000 bond. Authorities say Lara was arrested Monday after she allegedly hit a man with her vehicle and drove off with him hanging on to the car’s hood until he was thrown off and died.
