A Truckee man remained held under bond Thursday after authorities say he struck a pedestrian, who has been hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.
Stephen Andrew Lally, 32, will be charged with one felony count of hit-and-run and one felony count of driving under the influence, according to the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office.
Around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday Lally struck a man with his red Subaru near the intersection of Bridge and Jibboom streets in downtown Truckee. Lally then fled the scene in his vehicle, but was apprehended a short time later, according to Truckee Police Sgt. Lisa Madden.
Police officers who arrested Lally for the hit-and-run discovered enough evidence to book him for driving under the influence of alcohol as well, Madden added.
Truckee police arrested a Maine man Tuesday for starting a wildland fire on the Legacy Trail, west of the 267 Bypass Bridge, authorities said.
Tyler Richard Strout, 28, faces a felony charge of causing a fire. He remained jailed Wednesday afternoon under $10,000 in bond, reports state.
