New information surfaces in the case of a Tuesday morning hit-and-run that killed a jogger and mother of four.

Harrisonburg Police caught up with Bethany Jones Tuesday night after they say she left the scene of the accident on South Main Street and Port Republic Road. The victim of the accident was avid jogger and mother of four, 55-year-old Sherry Anderson.

Jones allegedly confessed, voluntarily, that the night before the accident, she was at the Pub, a Harrisonburg restaurant where she tends bar. When her shift ended around 2 a.m. Tuesday morning, she stuck around to drink with two other people.

Police say she left the Pub, went to another establishment and then back to the Pub at the end of the night. Allegedly, she told police they drank beer but she could not remember how many drinks she had over the course of the night.

When police first questioned Jones Tuesday night, 12 hours after the crash, they say she still smelled of alcohol. They also say she admitted to driving drunk the night before and recalled hitting something in the road on her way home. These and other revealing details in the case emerged Wednesday in court.

The search for a suspect began at the scene of the accident. Soon, police found their biggest clue was also one of the smallest. Using a broken piece of headlight, police say they were able to track down the car and then Jones.

Even before she was arrested, police say Jones confessed to hitting something in the road that morning. After being questioned, they say her boyfriend drove her to the police station for more interviews.

Jones said she didn't see Anderson, who was dressed head to toe in reflective gear, possibly because, as she told police, she was looking down at a CD player in her car.

Jones allegedly told police if she thought she hit a dog, she would have stopped. Instead, police say Jones drove home with her car's windshield shattered on the passenger's side.

Police say Jones claims when she hit something she knew she shouldn't be driving drunk and went home. In court Wednesday, Jones' attorney, H. David O'Donnell, said she didn't run from the scene but went home instead.

"Flight is a primal instinct," says O'Donnell.

Commonwealth's Attorney Marsha Garst fired back saying, "There should be a primal instinct to help."

It was also revealed in court that just in the past several months, Jones had been off probation for a previous DWI conviction when she hit Anderson. Garst says Jones was convicted in 2007 for a summer 2006 DWI. At that time, Garst says Jones' blood alcohol level was almost three times the legal limit at 0.22.

Jones was given a $20,000 bond in Harrisonburg's General District Court Wednesday. An appeal by Garst was denied by the court later Wednesday afternoon. Then Jones was given a higher bond of $30,000, ordered to have a substance abuse evaluation, required to remain free of alcohol and ordered to have her license suspended. Jones is also not allowed to have contact with the victim's family.

Garst argued against bond Wednesday, noting Jones' previous problems with alcohol. She says Jones could also be a risk to herself for a comment she made to police when she learned the victim of the accident died. Allegedly, Jones told police she could "just die."

O'Donnell argued in favor of bond because of Jones' connections to the community. Jones has lived in Harrisonburg for four years and has a sister who is a student at JMU. Her parents, who were present at the bond hearing, live in Roanoke.
