Hutch man arrested for aggravated battery-DUI after striking pedestrian

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 39-year-old man was taken to jail just before 6:30 p.m. Thursday after he struck a pedestrian as she started to cross the street in the 200 block of North Poplar.

Fidel Garcia was taken to jail for aggravated battery-DUI after the mirror of his vehicle struck 63-year-old Jackie McElravy. Police say she was legally crossing Poplar at the intersection.

She refused EMS transport for any injuries, but went to the hospital later.

Garcia was tested and found to be over the legal limit for intoxication. He’s still in jail on a $10,500 bond.
