ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A DeKalb County man has been indicted for allegedly running over his estranged wife with his truck and trying to conceal her death, prosecutors said Tuesday.

The indictment alleges that 64-year-old Nelson Clements caused the death of his wife, 58-year-old Janice Frazier Clements, on June 21  because as he was pulling his truck out of her driveway, she grabbed onto the door handle and he accelerated, running her over in the street,  according to the DeKalb County District Attorney's Office.

Clements is then accused of not immediately stopping his truck to help his wife, not immediately calling emergency services to report the collision, and attempting to conceal her death, prosecutors said.

On Oct. 13, a DeKalb County grand jury indicted Clements on:

Two counts of first-degree homicide by vehicle

Reckless driving

Hit and run resulting in serious injury or death

Stalking

Concealing the death of another

Clements was arrested on a grand jury warrant Friday and booked into the DeKalb County Jail, where he remains without bond.

An arraignment date for Clements will be scheduled soon, the DA's office said.
