A twin brother and sister were nabbed in New Jersey after an early Sunday morning hit-and-run left a man lying dead in the road.
Robert Springer, 25, is believed to have been driving the Chevrolet Malibu that twice struck Eddie Lee Warthen around 4:30 a.m. in Paulsboro, the South Jersey Times reported.
His twin, Jessica Springer, was apparently riding shotgun when the pair plowed into the 30-year-old pedestrian on East Madison Street. The woman, described in the Times report as “a dancer at bachelor parties,” was charged with tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution and held in lieu of $10,000 bail.
Her unemployed brother, alleged to have been behind the wheel, was charged with murder, unlawful possession of a handgun, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution. He’s held in lieu of $500,000 bail.
Cops found the Malibu used in the crime and the tossed gun.
It’s unclear if the twins and Warthen knew each other or randomly crossed paths. Warthen spent nearly two years in prison for a conviction of unlawful possession of a handgun.
Warthen was pronounced dead of traumatic injury at a local hospital some three hours after the wreck.
