Person of Interest in Hit and Run Identified

Deschutes County District Attorney Patrick Flaherty says Bend resident, Bret Lee Biedschied is named a "person of interest" in the hit and run accident that killed a Bend man about three weeks ago. A published report says Flaherty did not want to discuss the investigation because there are more steps they need to take before an arrest is made; and they don't want to rush to judgment. On February first, Bend Police seized a 2008 GM Sierra from a home on Southwest Hollygrape Street owned by Biedschied.  The incident occurred on January 26th, and as a result, Anthony Martin, 48, of Bend died.
