An Alexandria man is charged in the death of another on MacArthur Drive last week. 

Jason Fruge, 43, is charged with hit & run death/injury in the case of Robert J. Fink, 59, whose body was discovered September 19 in the median of the 1100 block of MacArthur Drive. 

That area, approximately between Castle Road and Jackson Street, has regular pedestrian users. 

Fruge is also charged with having no insurance, no vehicle registration, switched MVI, cancelled license plate and driving under suspension/revocation. Bail is set at $201,400. 

He has been in and out of city, parish and state custody five previous times this decade on traffic and narcotics charges as well as parole and probation violations and contempt counts. 

Fink had been booked eight times this year on misdemeanor charges involving disturbing the peace and public intoxication. 

He was jailed on aggravated arson and parole violation charges last September and released in March this year.
