An arrest has been made in connection with a hit-and-run accident that led to serious injuries for a pedestrian in the village of Deshler last Friday.   Henry County Sheriff’s Detective Arlen Cohrs reports 19 year old Ulises Morales, an undocumented immigrant, living in Deshler was arrested around 6:30 this (Tue.) morning in a vehicle just outside the residence where he was living on Keyser Street in Deshler.   The auto was stopped this morning, with 5 undocumented immigrants inside; and a driver without a license.  Ulises Morales is being charged with a felony count of leaving the scene of an accident, where serious injuries occur; along with the charge of Aggravated Vehicular Assault.     He is being held at CCNO awaiting an appearance in Napoleon Municipal Court this week.   An interpreter was brought-in to help with questioning of the suspect.   The Federal Immigration and Customs Office has been alerted; and will likely be coming to investigate.  According to the Henry County Sheriff’s Office, Immigration officials cannot deport subjects, under current federal regulations, unless they are convicted of a felony.  The hit-and-run car-pedestrian accident occurred just before 7am last Friday near the intersection of Elm and Keyser Streets, when Jenny Krauss of Deshler was struck by a vehicle that fled from the scene.  According to the report, Krauss was thrown on top of the vehicle, smashing the windshield, and landed about 30 feet away.   The Henry County Sheriff’s office believed they found the suspect vehicle about a block from the accident site over the weekend; and they were able to make the arrest and file charges today.
