DENVER (CBS4) – The suspected driver of Lyndreth Sage Antone’s hit and run on New Year’s Eve appeared in court virtually on Saturday.
Jordan Montiel-Vazquez appeared before a judge during a videoconference at the Denver District Court, after being taken into custody on Thursday after an investigation for leaving the scene of an accident involving death.
Police responded to the scene on South Lowell Boulevard and Morrison Road at around 6:35 pm on Thursday. Investigators said Montiel-Vazquez, 23, left the scene, but was later taken into custody at a home in Aurora.
Montiel-Vazquez remains in custody, but the judge has granted him $ 10,000 bail, which means he can get out of prison.
