WILKES-BARRE - A day after a couple was killed in a hit-and-run in Pittston Twp., more details have come out about why a man arrested Sunday on unrelated drug charges has been called a "person of interest" in the crash.
Robin Walsh, 39, and Donnie Pizano, 39, were on a motorcycle when it was struck by a car on Route 315 in Pittston Twp. early Sunday morning.
Police arrested Walter Paul Raven, 59, of Jenkins Twp., on drug charges Sunday, and said he was a person of interest in the hit-and-run.
Mr. Raven was found power-washing his car, which was bloody and damaged from a crash, said Daniel Antonini, 46, of Wilkes-Barre, in the criminal complaint. Mr. Antonini helped Mr. Raven and was arrested on a charge of tampering with evidence.
Bail and preliminary information for both men was not available Monday.
