PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A man is behind bars in connection with a hit-and-run that killed Temple University student Bryce Wolfe along Kelly Drive last month.
The Temple University student was pinned under an SUV and dragged for a mile.
Derek Reid, 48, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals Thursday.
The U.S. Marshals Service says 48-year-old Derek Reid was taken into custody in connection with a deadly hit-and-run, as well as a child rape case.
Reid has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, among other driving offenses, for the fatal hit-and-run, and will now also face charges in a child rape case.
Following Reid's arrest, Action News has learned more about his significant criminal history.
Officials say Reid was charged on April 28 with rape, sexual assault, and corruption of a minor for allegedly assaulting a juvenile male in 2021.
"When they started investigating, they realized he already had a felony warrant for his arrest," said Robert Clark, the Supervisory Deputy with the U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force in Philadelphia.
"We hope that this arrest brings closure for the victim and the family," Clark said.
Reid is being held on bail of $750,000 for each case. His next court appearance will be on August 17.
Officials say it was a team effort between Philadelphia police and U.S. Marshals to track down Reid, who they say was evading police.
They finally captured him as he was mowing someone's lawn Thursday in Philadelphia's West Oak Lane section.

One of the revenge movies I watched had a character say: "Closure is overrated." Justice was the solution.

What, was Philly’s crackpot DA Larry Krasner on vacation or something, how did this happen ? /s
Demonic.
What a creep. I hope he gets a heavy sentence. The rat.
Just another perp the Democrats will probably defend.

True.
Samuel L. Jackson has to use acting talent to try to look like that in film roles. Comes naturally to this creep.
When that man dies, somebody’s going to have to wake him up to tell him he’s dead.
Derek Reid criminal with a significant criminal history.
Temple student Bryce Wolfe .
One of LBJs welfare children no doubt.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
Well with the way out judicial system works now, I doubt it. Obviously the victim was at fault and in the UK the victim would be arrested.
The more time passes the more the Great Society programs look like deliberate attempts to destroy the black family.
Thomas Sowell discusses this, with statistics, that make that conclusion even more glaring and damning.
Introducing the next Democrat Senate Candidate from the Great State of Pennsylvania.
He has all of the qualifications to represent the Democrat Party in the U.S. Senate.
“Please send your donations now. Save Democracy. Hate Trump. Kill Conservatives. This is our platform.”
(I will add the obligatory /s sarcasm sign in case any fool on the planet can’t read it)
Disgusting. This is the type of person who needs to be taken out of decent society and given the electric chair. If not do-able, at least jail him for life with no possibility of parole.
Derek is going places in the demoncrat party. Maybe a House seat or Senate? Because reparations.
Killing people with a car. Raping children. Being completely crazed and let loose for numerous felonies. He’s a shoe in.
Another one:
I was knocked off my Harley and dragged 90 feet. Four broken ribs and a collapsed lung along with a half acre of road rash. Can’t imagine much left after a mile.
(Officials say Reid was charged on April 28 with rape,
sexual assault, and corruption of a minor for allegedly
ASSAULTING A JUVENILE MALE in 2021.)
So he’s a homo too?
Has Barack Hussein Obama stepped up to
defend him yet? Joe Biden?
(under his car for a mile.)
