Daniel Bark, a 23-year-old New Jersey resident, was arrested and charged with the death of Alexis Cohen, a former American Idol contestant, during a hit-and-run.
Cops say Bark killed Cohen with a 2005 Mitsubishi Gallant and left the scene of the predawn Saturday accident, and could face 10-15 years in prison if so.
About 4 a.m., two passersby discovered the battered body of the memorable American Idol castoff on a road in Seaside Heights on the New Jersey shore.
Her car was found about 300 yards away.
