Wednesday night, investigators were able to find the 2001 Subaru Legacy suspected of hitting Dillard and arrested the driver, 43-year-old Herbert Kusko, of Waterbury.
Kusako is charged with evading responsibility - causing serious physical injury and failure to drive in the proper lane. He was released on $75,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on March 21.
Police said they expect to file additional charges now that it is being investigated as a fatal hit-and-run.
