Arrests made after body found in the road

West Valley City • Police arrested two people after a man was found dead on a West Valley City road earlier this week.

Police said Hairon Freyre-Portuondo, 20, was apparently run over by a vehicle, according to FOX 13. His body was found at 9 p.m. Tuesday.

Police announced Friday the arrests of Keirsten Tomasini, 22, and Anthony Borge, 19, in connection with Freyre-Portuondo’s death.

Detectives identified the potential driver of the vehicle that struck Freyre-Portuondo as Tomasini and brought her in for questioning, according to a news release. Borge was a passenger in the vehicle.

"Investigators also developed information that there had been some sort of dispute inside the vehicle and that Freyre-Portuondo had gotten out while the truck was moving, fallen to the ground and had been hit,” the news release states.

Tomasini is accused of fleeing the scene without attempting to render aid or obtain assistance. She faces felony charges of manslaughter, failure to remain at an accident involving serious injury, receiving or transferring a stolen vehicle and obstruction of justice.

Borge faces a felony count of obstruction of justice.
