Daytona Beach,FL : Man charged in deadly Daytona Beach hit-and-run faces judge on February, Thursday 8th 2018

The man arrested in a hit-and-run in Daytona Beach appeared before a Volusia County Judge Thursday after police accused him of hitting and leaving a woman dead on the side of the road.
Rusty Bovee was found on the side of a street near South Nova Road and Forest Glen Boulevard early Wednesday morning. The Daytona Beach Police Department has been investigating the 35-year-old woman's death and was looking for an older Mitsubishi Raider.

During the investigation, an officer found a headlight assembly and three Walmart plastic bags, with laundry soap being among the items, near Bovee's body, revealed the affidavit.

The officer learned that the headlight assembly matched a Raider.

As officers were canvassing the area, they found a pickup truck at a home on Marion Street that matched the make and model that the headlight assembly belonged to and the vehicle had "front end damage" that "was consistent with hitting a pedestrian," according to the affidavit.

The home belonged to Correa, a Daytona Beach resident.

The 63-year-old Correa and two other people were in the yard and agreed to go with law enforcement to talk about the case.

While parts of the affidavit have been redacted, it did reveal that laundry soap was found on the pickup, along with a piece of hair discovered on the front hood of the vehicle. The affidavit did not state if the laundry soap or hair was tested to see if they matched the laundry soap found near the accident or Bovee, respectively.

Due to the redacted parts of the affidavit, it is unclear if Correa ever admitted to hitting Bovee or not, but it does state that he did call Geico Insurance, he told the two people mentioned previously, labeled as "witnesses", that he was involved in a crash and that he never called the police about an accident.
