The driver, who lived nearby, admitted his involvement to police. 62-year-old Lloyd Edward Willey was arrested and charged on citation with hit-and-run violations as well as driving without a license.

Police say the case will be forwarded to the Baltimore County State’s Attorney’s Office for review. Willey is currently being held on no bond status at the Baltimore County Detention Center.

The victim had been identified as 35-year-old Thomas Fisher of no fixed address in Glen Burnie.
