Houston, TX —An intoxicated driver who struck and killed a bicyclist and then fled the scene was arrested in his home on Monday night.  Jerad Thomas was driving a friend’s cargo van when he hit a 53-year-old man who was riding his bike southbound on Jones Road near Fallbrook.  The bicyclist was taken to the hospital where he died a short time later.  Police were able to track the owner of the van because the license plate fell off at the scene.  The owner of the van had loaned the van to a friend.  Police went to the friend’s house and found Thomas asleep on the stairs with the keys to the van by him.  The suspect was arrested and is charged with driving while intoxicated, being in an accident causing a death and resisting arrest.
