HOT SPRINGS, AR –
A man suspected of running over and killing another man in Hot Springs was arrested by the Garland County Sheriff’s Department Friday.
Chase McGowan was arrested on charges of manslaughter and leaving the scene of an injury accident, both felonies. The charges come in connection with an incident at Smyly’s Crab Shack where Ray Dautartas was killed when he was run over by a car.
According to the report, Dautartas was attempting to break up a fight between McGowan and others in the parking lot of the Crab Shack. Witnesses told investigators that McGowan backed up in his car with the door open, hit Dautartas, and then sped off, running over Dautartas.
McGowan is in jail on a $10,000 bond.
