Bond was set at $25,000 Friday for the Collins driver accused of leaving the scene after hitting an Interstate 20 pedestrian who died the next day, but he was ordered held for Arkansas authorities who told local officials they planned to prosecute him for violating his probation by leaving that state.

Roger Dale Curtis, 26, 201 S. Second St., remained in the Warren County Jail after Justice Court Judge Edwin Woods set the bond.

Curtis was arrested Wednesday afternoon in Collins by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations and booked into the Warren County Jail that evening, charged in the death of Dudley Shane Scrimpshire, 42, of Moselle near the Bovina exit early Sunday morning.

Scrimpshire’s car had broken down, and he was walking to find assistance when he was hit. He was spotted on the side of the highway at about 7:20 that morning by a driver on the westbound exit from Bovina. He was taken to River Region Medical Center and transferred to University Medical Center in Jackson, where he died from head and body trauma late Monday afternoon.

Curtis was trying to get to Arkansas at the time of the accident, said MBI Investigator Bryan Richardson.

This is the second time Curtis has faced felony charges. He had been paroled from an Arkansas prison after serving 19 months of a three-year sentence for receiving stolen property and forgery, a spokesman for Arkansas Department of Community Corrections said.

He since had been working at a public golf course in Collins, where he was arrested this week.
