Kienzle was riding a bike at the intersection of South Wadsworth Boulevard and West Ohio Avenue when he was hit last week. Lakewood police said they later received a call from Bean, who stated she may have been in an accident.
Lakewood police investigators went to the 600 block of South Vance Street where she was arrested.
Kienzle was declared brain dead Thursday and died Friday
Bean bonded out of Jefferson County Jail sometime after her initial hearing last Friday, said Jefferson County District Attorney’s spokeswoman Pam Russell.
She was also charged with driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident involving death.
