Police said Danika Cain was arrested Wednesday in the death Tuesday of 44-year-old Kent Reed after detectives determined that aspects of Cain's initial account didn't check out.

Police said Wednesday that Cain and Reed were involved in a "domestic-related" verbal argument before Reed got out of the vehicle and was struck.

Online court records didn't list an attorney for Cain who might comment on her behalf.
