MIFFLIN COUNTY, Pa. — A Centre County woman was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of an illegal drug after hitting a Harrisburg man who was attempting to save a dog that he had hit earlier on Aug 6.
Foster Barner, 58, of Harrisburg, was attempting to remove a dog he hit from the roadway on Route 522 southbound in Mifflin County when he was struck by a truck, police say.
Pennsylvania State troopers responded to the scene around 8:50 p.m. after receiving a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle.
Jamie Ross, 43, of Bellefonte, the operator of the truck, gave these officers a fake name due to her having a warrant out for her arrest in a neighboring county, police also say.
After further investigation, police discovered who Ross actually was, and she was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence, and giving a false name to law enforcement.
She has since been taken to the Mifflin County Correctional Facility.
There is no word on Barner's or the dog's condition at this time.
