Metro Police have arrested a man in connection with the hit-and-run Monday night on the Las Vegas Strip that injured three pedestrians.
Metro spokesman Marcus Martin said a Nevada Highway Patrol trooper stopped the suspect's vehicle at 1:37 a.m. near the Maryland Parkway and Windmill Lane intersection.
A Metro officer assisted at the traffic stop, and the suspect was arrested for drunken driving and drugs, officials said.
Martin said the suspect, who has not been identified yet, likely will be charged with hit-and-run for Monday night's incident.
Police said a man drove his black pickup truck onto a sidewalk at 7:20 p.m. Monday in front of Margaritaville Las Vegas, 3555 Las Vegas Boulevard South, and struck three pedestrians before leaving the scene.
All three pedestrians were transported to UMC Trauma, but none of them had life-threatening injuries, according to Lt. Dennis Flynn, Metro watch commander.
