(Stillwater, Okla.) — A driver accused of hitting a Stillwater bicyclist with his pickup truck and leaving the scene of the injury accident has been released from the Payne County Jail on $5,000 bond with an order to appear in court March 25 on a felony charge.

The case was investigated by the Stillwater Police Department, court records show.
