A suspect in the hit-and-run death of volunteer firefighter Lloyd Mabry made his initial court appearance Friday afternoon.
Jorge Rodriguez Pacheco, 19, is charged with reckless homicide, tampering with physical evidence, leaving the scene of a crime and failure to report an accident.
Appearing before Barren District Court Judge John Alexander, Pacheco listed his name as Norberto Figueroa Ortiz, the name initially given to authorities when they began searching for persons of interest in regard to the June 22 accident.
Barren County Sheriff Chris Eaton said Pacheco was the name he gave both local authorities and deputies with the West Palm Beach County, Fla., Sheriff’s Department, where he was apprehended.
Norberto Ortiz was believed to be an alias, according to Eaton.
Pacheco, who is believed to be a native of Mexico, is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing July 25 at 3 p.m., in Barren District Court.
