FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — A man has been charged with evidence tampering in the death of a homeless man who authorities say was hit by a car and left lodged in the windshield until he died.

According to an indictment, Clete Jackson removed the man's body from the car and dumped him in a park to try to conceal the hit-and-run.

A friend of his, Chante Mallard, 26, allegedly told police she was returning from a nightclub Oct. 26 when she hit the homeless man. She said she was scared and drove home with him in the windshield.

Jackson, 27, was arrested June 21 after a Tarrant County grand jury returned the indictment. He remained jailed Tuesday on nearly $106,000 bail. His attorney, William Harris, declined to comment, citing a gag order.

Mallard was indicted in April for murder and evidence tampering in the death of Gregory Biggs, 37, a former bricklayer living in a homeless shelter. She remains jailed on $250,000 bail.

A tipster came forward months later and told police Mallard had talked and laughed about the alleged hit-and-run while at a party.

Authorities say Biggs could have survived with medical attention.
