WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Sedgwick County authorities have charged the suspect in a 2014 hit-and-run that killed a man near Clearwater.

Fifty-four-year-old Cary Whitlock of Clearwater was charged Wednesday with failure to stop at an accident, resulting in great bodily harm. He is accused of hitting and killing Jeremy Napier as he was walking along a road in September 2014.

Whitlock’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Oct. 20.

He’s free from jail on $25,000 bond. No defense attorney is listed in court records.

Whitlock was arrested last week. Authorities have not detailed what led to his arrest after nearly two years.
