Arrested in New Mexico

A Monroe County man wanted for aggravated vehicular homicide was arrested by New Mexico authorities over the weekend. Pedersen, 41 of Tellico Plains had been on the run since May 20th, 2009. According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Pedersen and Angela Nichols, 36 of Madisonville were driving down Lick Creek when he lost control of his truck, hit an embankment and slammed into a tree. Nichols was pronounced dead on the scene. Pedersen was injured in the wreck and managed to leave town before charges were filed against him.


This is the type of problem the bill in the Senate Judiciary Committee will address. Why should any prior offenses fall off this guys charge after he bolted from thejurisdiction?
