PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A 24-year-old Portland man was arrested early Monday morning and charged with involvement in a weekend fatal hit-and-run.

Another man police believe tried to help him by repairing damage to the vehicle also faces a charge of evidence tampering.

Douglas Miller was killed Saturday night. The 60-year-old was walking in southeast Portland when he was struck.



Jay Jenkins faces second-degree manslaughter, hit-and-run and evidence tampering charges.

Acting on a tip, investigators found a 1995 Subaru station wagon on Sunday night, then moved to arrest Jenkins and 24-year-old Jerin Crabtree on Monday.
