A man charged with leaving the scene of a fatality accident
in Warren County has been released from jail.
Paul 'Jud' McKinney, 79, will be arraigned in Warren County
District Court at 1:30 p.m., on October 12.
The date of the next court appearance previously had been
Tuesday, Sept. 22, but that was changed to the October
date, a spokeswoman with the Warren County Clerk of Court's
Office confirmed this morning.
McKinney is accused of being the driver of a pickup truck
which hit and killed bicyclist Mark Grgurich, 54, in Warren
County on Aug. 30. McKinney was arrested a week ago on
charges of leaving the scene of a fatality accident,
obstruction of prosecution by destruction of evidence and
failure to maintain control of a motor vehicle.
Police said earlier that a surveillance photograph of the
truck McKinney allegedly was driving at the time of the
accident was helpful in identifying McKinney as a suspect
in the case.
Bond previously had been set at $10,000. Court records show
McKinney was released last Thursday on $7,500 bond.
McKinney's attorney, Terry Wright, previously had argued
that the $10,000 bond was too high.
McKinney's initial appearance before Judge Kevin Parker was
Sept. 14.
