OAKLAND PARK, Fla. – The Broward Sheriff's Office has arrested a man in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash in Oakland Park from May.
Scott Roman, 47, of Fort Lauderdale, was arrested Monday on a charge of leaving a scene involving a death and tampering with evidence.
Joseph Deverson, 22, was taken to Broward Health Medical Center on May 11 after he was struck by a car while riding his Go-Ped.
He was pronounced dead later that week.
According to detectives, Deverson was riding his Go-Ped on Powerline Road, just north of Oakland Park Boulevard, when he was hit. The driver, believed to be Roman, never stopped.
Deputies said it's possible that Roman didn't see Deverson, and if he had stayed at the scene, there's a chance that he wouldn't have been charged.
The white BMW believed to be involved in the incident was found days after the crash at The Palms condominiums in Fort Lauderdale.
Deputies said Roman told an employee at the building to make arrangements to have his vehicle repaired.
