ASP’s Criminal Investigation Division arrested a Texarkana, Texas, man on Thursday, December 7, 2023, in connection with a hit-and-run pedestrian fatality that occurred on U.S. Highway 82 on March 9, 2023. Joseph Curtis Miller, 85, of Springhill, Louisiana, was visiting family in Arkansas when he was struck and killed.

Critical information was provided to investigators in response to ASP social media posts and reports from media partners. An ASP media advisory included a photo of the suspect’s vehicle, which investigators believed sustained significant damage based on evidence retrieved at the scene.
