A fatal hit-and-run suspect in Tennessee allegedly shared social media posts about the victim after the March 31 crash.
Grundy County authorities charged Haley Layman, 25, with leaving the scene of an accident involving a death and tampering with evidence in connection with the fatal hit-and-run of a man named Bobby Green.
Following the alleged crash and before her arrest, Layman not only shared a post about the incident from the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office on Facebook, but she also shared a Facebook post from Green’s daughter sharing the news of his death.
“I know I don’t post a lot of personal stuff and I never ask for anything, but please if anyone knows who hit my daddy Bobby Dan Green from the back while he was riding his bike down the road going toward Palmer market (pretty sure it was intentional because they came back after they hit him looked at him and left) … please please let me know or Tennessee highway patrol,” Green’s daughter, Clara, wrote on Facebook.
