COMMERCE CITY — The Commerce City Police Department has made an arrest in the hit-and-run that injured 13-year-old D’Artagnan Alexander Dye on June 17.
On Tuesday, traffic investigators got an unspecified tip that led them to Alonso Ponce-Jimenez, 67, of Commerce City. His driver’s license is revoked for three prior convictions on alcohol-related charges, police said.
The white Ford truck believed to have been involved in the case was impounded after it was seized from a home in Thornton, police said.
Ponce-Jimenez is being held at the Adams County Detention Facility for a previous arrest warrant while awaiting new charges of leaving the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury and driving without a license.
Dye is recovering from injuries suffered when he was hit by a truck at East 75th Avenue and Oneida Street. He initially was in a medically induced coma.
