Bicycle hit-and-run suspect to receive plea deal

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - One of the suspects involved in a bicycle hit-and-run back in April may soon receive a plea deal from the state.

24-year-old Israel Preciado is facing two counts of tampering with physical evidence and obstructing criminal investigations or prosecutions.

He, along with 20-year-old Yancy Antonio, are accused of being involved in a hit-and-run which left 48-year-old Eric Martinez hospitalized.

During Thursday's hearing, the state said they intend to present a plea offer to Preciado before his next court appearance.

He will be back in court on August 14 for a final management conference.
