SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Sioux Falls police have arrested a suspect in an alleged hit and run that put a man in the hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Thirty-one-year-old Christopher Benson, of Sioux Falls, faces charges of assault and felony injury hit and run. He was jailed Wednesday on $50,000 cash bond. It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Authorities say a fight over money owed for drugs led to the incident shortly after midnight Monday. Police say a 34-year-old victim was knocked unconscious in the street and was run over by a vehicle. He was put in intensive care with facial fractures and bleeding on the brain.
