Driver Accused Of Covering Up Evidence After Hit And Run Crash
BOSTON (CBS) - An East Boston man is being held on $25,000 bail after answering charges he ran down a Revere woman, then drove off, early Monday.
As he was led into the courtroom, Jon Ravida of East Boston hid his face with a baseball cap, then turned his back on the court as he was arraigned on motor vehicle homicide charges.
He's accused of running down 22-year-old Sotheny Pen of Revere, on Route 1A in Revere, then driving away. Members of both the victim's and the defendant's families were in court.
