COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- Police arrested two people wanted in connection with a hit-and-run accident that killed a motorcyclist in Cobb County.

Channel 2’s Ross Cavitt obtained a copy of the warrants issued for Brandon Weston, 32, and Pamela Rice, 41, who are charged in the death of 31-year-old Emmanuel Mitchell of Norcross.

Mitchell was on a motorcycle when he was struck by a car on Interstate 75 near Windy Hill Road on Aug. 20. Witnesses told police Mitchell was initially struck by a Porsche, and then several other drivers as he lay on the highway.

Police recovered evidence at the scene that they said belonged to a silver Porsche made between 1986 and 1991.

Weston owns a silver 1987 Porsche 944 but does not have the vehicle registered or insured, according to the warrant.

Weston is accused of conspiring with Rice to take the car to a repair shop in Alabaster, Ala. where damage to the vehicle was repaired, the car was painted black and the paperwork was doctored to make it look like the repairs happened before the crash, the warrant said.

Weston is charged with failure to maintain lane, no insurance, failure to register a vehicle, hit-and-run, vehicular homicide and tampering with evidence. Rice is charged with being a party to a crime of hit-and-run, vehicular homicide and tampering with evidence. Both are being held without bond in the Cobb County Jail.
