CANDLER COUNTY, Ga. () — An arrest was made Monday by the Candler County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) in connection to a fatal hit-and-run from May.
Raymond Quillet turned himself in and was arrested and charged with felony hit-and-run and failure to report accident resulting in injury, death or property damage. The arrest comes nearly two months after the incident occurred.
Investigators increased the reward for information leading to an arrest in June. The person who provided the tip leading to Quillet’s arrest did not accept the reward.
Tiffany Carter of Glennville was killed May 24 on Highway 46 West between Canoochee Road and Hiawatha Road.
In a Facebook post, CCSO said, “This case has remained a top priority for our agency since the early morning hours of Saturday, May 24th, when Ms. Carter was struck and left in the roadway on Highway 46 West, between Canoochee Road and Hiawatha Road, in Candler County. Her tragic death deeply impacted our community, and we have remained committed to finding answers.”
The investigation remains open, the CCSO said.
