Three weeks after a bicyclist was struck and killed in an Aurora hit-and-run, the suspected driver turned himself in, police said.
Jamie Gardner, 53, turned himself in to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday, according to a news release from the Aurora Police Department.
Gardner faces one felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving death, county court records show. He was released Tuesday on $50,000 bail, police said.
Dispatchers were first alerted to a downed bicyclist near South Powhaton Road and East Jewell Avenue shortly after 9:30 a.m. July 27, police said. The bicyclist, 26-year-old Arthur Williams, was dead when police arrived.
Investigators identified a white Subaru Outback SUV as a suspect vehicle in the hit-and-run and used Flock cameras to track down the driver, police said. The cameras captured a heavily damaged Subaru leaving an Aurora neighborhood July 28 and linked the car’s license plate to Gardner, police said.
A warrant was issued Friday for Gardner’s arrest.
