Goodrich arrested on new charges
DALLAS -- Dallas Cowboys player Dwayne Goodrich was arrested Monday on three new charges in a hit-and-run accident that killed two people.
Goodrich was taken into custody at his home, then posted $15,000 bail and was released from jail. He already had been free on $50,000 bond on two manslaughter charges.
On Jan. 14, Goodrich -- a reserve defensive back -- drove his car at more than 100 mph between a concrete barrier and a burning car that was in an earlier accident, police say.
A passenger in the burning car was trying to free the driver when Demont Matthews, 23, and Joseph Wood, 21, pulled to the side of the road and ran to help.
According to police, Goodrich's car an into all three rescuers, killing Matthews and Wood. The third man got a broken leg.
Goodrich earlier was charged in the deaths of Matthews and Wood. The new charges are for failing to stop and help the victims, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Through his attorney, Goodrich has said he initially thought he'd struck only debris.
Goodrich told investigators he was the driver and sole occupant of the car.
Dallas County District Attorney Bill Hill has said a grand jury could begin hearing evidence next month.
