Arrest Made In Millbrae Fatal Hit And Run
*****************************************

March 17 (BCN) -- Millbrae police have arrested a man allegedly responsible
for striking and killing a 31-year-old man attempting to cross a street in
Millbrae early Wednesday morning, police announced today.

Timothy Ory of San Bruno was arrested and booked into San Mateo County Jail
on charges related to the incident that took place at around 2 a.m.
Wednesday.

On Thursday police located the blue Jeep Wrangler they believe was the
vehicle involved in the hit-and-run accident that killed Millbrae resident
Philip Michael Batlin, 31, who was attempting to cross El Camino Real near
Millbrae Avenue. The impact of the collision threw Batlin several feet
before he landed in the roadway, police report.

Batlin was transported to San Francisco General Hospital, where he later
succumbed to his injuries.

Millbrae police Sgt. Ron Gleason said that Ory brought his vehicle to
Superior Auto Body Shop in San Carlos to have damage to the front end
repaired on Thursday.

"Evidently (the jeep) was brought into a body shop in San Carlos and the
owner had seen the news coverage and called San Carlos police who then
notified us," Gleason said.

Ory allegedly told the body shop owner the damage was caused after he struck
a deer, but evidence found on the jeep suggested otherwise, Gleason said.

Police determined the type of vehicle involved in the incident by a detached
driver's side view mirror, a left side hood catch and navy paint chips that
were left at the scene.

Ory will be arraigned on Monday, police report.

Anyone with information is urged to call Millbrae police at (650) 259-2300,
or anonymously through Millbrae Crime Stoppers at (650) 697-STOP.
