A 9 a.m. Thursday arraignment is scheduled for Lance Lee, 49, DeKalb, Illinois, who is charged with felony leaving the scene of an accident in connection with the September 27 hit-and-run death of Soaring Heights Elementary third grader Destiny Chambers on Newman Road.
Judge Joseph Hensley will preside.
Lee remains in the Jasper County Jail on a $10,000 cash-only bond.
The probable cause statement says Lance T. Lee, 49, DeKalb, Illinois, hit Destiny P. Chambers, 8, at 6:55 a.m. and never stopped until he reached Strafford.
At first, Lee told the Highway Patrol he thought he hit a deer on I-44, but he changed his story, admitted being on Newman Road and said he thought he hit a mailbox. Lee said he told his employer that he hit a deer because he could have been charged with hitting a mailbox.
