GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ)- Charges have been amended for a man accused of a fatal hit-and-run crash with a man riding a bike in Green Bay.
Barry Watters was originally charged with hit and run causing great bodily harm.
After the victim Russel Owen died from the injuries, those charges were changed to homicide by vehicle while using a controlled substance, homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle and hit and run resulting in death.
Thursday’s hearing did not take place because Watters has asked for a new attorney.
Barry Watters was allegedly driving the SUV which struck and killed Russel Owen on Green Bay’s west side on March 25.
Police reported that they found marijuana and prescription medication in the vehicle.
A passenger in the vehicle, Ramon Novoa, is also charged with a misdemeanor for not aiding Owen or reporting the incident.
