SABATTUS, Maine (AP) Police have arrested a suspect in a weekend hit-and-run that killed a 28-year-old woman in Sabattus, Maine.

A home security system captured an image of a black pickup truck that police believe struck Renata Schalk of Sabattus and drove away early Sunday evening , police said. A police officer performed first aid, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Portland Press Herald reports that police arrested 37-year-old David Veinott of Bowdoinham Monday afternoon. He was charged with leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death.

He posted bail later that day at the Androscoggin Count Jail, officials said.
