The Rome News Tribune reported on Saturday that a Rome woman is charged in connection with a hit-and-run that killed a Floyd County man whose body was found on the side of a Polk County highway this past week.
Chasmine Miye’ Lowe, 24, was arrested by the Georgia State Patrol and booked into the Polk County Jail on Tuesday. She is charged with felony counts of first-degree vehicular homicide, and hit and run resulting in serious injury or death.
According to the Georgia State Patrol, Sharad Robinson was walking southbound on the east shoulder of Ga. 1 towards Cedartown when he was struck by a vehicle traveling northbound. Robinson had been reported missing from Floyd County on Dec. 18 and, according to the GSP, it appears that is when the incident occurred, meaning his body remained at the scene for just over a week.
Lowe is also charged with misdemeanor failure to maintain lane and failure to report an accident resulting in injury, damage, or death. She was released on $10,000 bond according to Polk County Jail records.
