Arrest Made In Colorado Springs Dragging Death

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) - A woman has been arrested on manslaughter charges in the dragging death of a Colorado Springs tow truck driver.

Police say Detra Farries,32, was booked into the El Paso County Jail Friday evening.

Allen Rose ,35, was killed Wednesday after he attached a chain to an illegally parked SUV and was preparing to tow it when it drove away. Investigators say the chain snapped and Rose somehow got entangled in it and was dragged for more than a mile.

Police say in a statement that Farries was driving the vehicle. The investigation is still ongoing and no further information was immediately available.

Rose was a father of two who served with the armed forces in Iraq.
