Law enforcement has officially charged a woman with the death of a bicyclist last month on Pulaski Road near the Bulloch and Candler County line.

Sierra Monique Boatwright was arrested last Thursday in Bulloch County and charged with homicide by vehicle and hit-and-run resulting in serious injury or death.

On May 7, around 10:00 p.m., emergency personnel responded to a report of a man being struck by a vehicle while he was either on or beside his bicycle according to a witness. The driver believed to have struck the man had fled the scene.

The deceased was identified as Darnell Hodges of Register.

Following the crash, deputies from Bulloch and Candler counties collaborated with Georgia State Patrol to identify and locate the driver, and Candler County deputies were able to locate the suspected vehicle and take the woman, now identified as Boatwright, into custody. She was booked on a 48-hour investigative hold as the case was under review.

Boatwright is currently in custody at the Bulloch County Detention Center and has been denied bond.

The incident remains under investigation.
