Man Arrested for January Drunk Driving Death

Walter Henderson

U.S. Marshals arrested Walter Henderson of Morrow and booked him into the Bartow County Jail on Wednesday night for homicide by vehicle in the first degree, improper lane change, DUI alcohol, and driving while license is suspended.

These charges stem from a single vehicle rollover accident that occurred on I-75 northbound near the Red Top Mountain exit on the morning of January 13^th. Investigators say that Henderson was driving a 1991 Ford Ranger while under the influence. He left the roadway and struck a guardrail.

His passenger, Alexander Mitchell, was killed. Henderson was transported to Kennestone Hospital with multiple injuries immediately after the incident. There is no further information at this time.
