The man accused of a deadly hit and run incident in June pleaded guilty Monday morning.
Jose Rodriguez has been charged with failing to report a crash that resulted in a death, which is a class 1 felony and could serve up to 15 years in jail.
On June 22 he drove through a stoplight on Main and MacArthur Avenue and collided with a motorcycle driven by Corey Cottrell. He then fled the scene and turned himself in the next day.
Rodriguez has been in ICE custody since August.
