Soon after the body of a homeless man was found on the Interstate 480 bridge, an auto glass shop installed a new windshield on a 2001 Oldsmobile Alero in Omaha.
The 39-year-old driver told the glass repairman that he had hit a deer, but the repairman didn't see any fur, which he found odd, so he notified the police.
Council Bluffs police say that man, Jeffrey Rolle of Omaha, has now admitted he struck Robert Fry on May 30. Rolle, of Omaha, said he thought he had hit a deer and left the area.
Police said arrangements have been made for Rolle to turn himself in to police Thursday to face charges of flight to avoid prosecution and leaving the scene of a fatality accident.
