The New Jersey police said 23-year-old Daniel Bark arrested yesterday evening for the Saturday death of well-known two-time American Idol rival Alexis Cohen.
Bark was first charged with causing Cohen's death by reckless driving and leaving the scene of the accident, though upgraded charges are expected to be announced later today.
He's currently being held in Jersey's Ocean County Jail on $35,000 bail and, if convicted, could face up to 15 years behind bars.
Passers-by alerted police to the scene early Saturday morning after spotting the body of 24-year-old Cohen near an intersection. Police said she may have been returning to her car when she was struck; her vehicle was just 350 yards away.
