Breaking news in last Saturday’s hit-and-run out on Highway 219.

Washington County Sheriff’s Department has arrested 37 year-old John Carothers. According to reports, Carothers willingly turned himself in.

Carothers sent cyclist, surgeon and mother of triplets Cindy Sharp to the hospital with serious arm injuries after running her off the road last week a little west of Scholls, Oregon.

According to a report on Northwest Cable News Channel, Sharp was first harassed by Carothers’ vehicle before his boat trailer ran her off the road into a ditch.
