Overview
- Authorities identified the driver as 26-year-old Tionne Spears, who was arrested by Bexar County deputies on Feb. 27 near State Highway 211.
- Investigators say she went around barricades, ran over the already-deceased 61-year-old victim, and narrowly missed two on-scene investigators who were uninjured.
- Spears was booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on charges of driving while intoxicated, abuse of a corpse, and possession of a controlled substance.
- Deputies reported finding a substance believed to be khat in her vehicle, and tests will show what, if any, drugs were in her system.
- The victim was first clipped by one car and then fatally struck by a second, both drivers stayed and are not suspected of criminal wrongdoing, and investigators are examining why he was on the roadway after his black Chrysler 300 was found nearby.
