Here is the info:

 Indian River County Sheriff’s Office Traffic Homicide Investigators arrested, 52-year-old Drew Leibrock in connection to the recent death of an adult female that was located along the side of US Highway 1 during the early hours of December 30, 2022.
On the night of December 29, 2022, Leibrock and the victim were involved in an ongoing domestic dispute that continued through the early morning hours of December 30, 2022. Both Leibrock and the victim were drinking alcoholic beverages throughout the night.
According to Leibrock, he left his residence in Sebastian in his vehicle in an attempt to defuse the dispute. Leibrock then drove himself to Whispering Palm Mobile Home Community where he was planning to sleep in his parked vehicle.
The victim allegedly followed Leibrock to his location and exited her vehicle to confront him and continue the dispute. The victim then struck the outside of his vehicle multiple times and refused to stop or leave.
As Leibrock began driving his vehicle away, he struck and ran over the victim. Leibrock fled the scene and did not report the incident. Indian River County Sheriff’s Detectives and Traffic Homicide Investigators were able to quickly put the case together and managed to identify Leibrock within hours of locating the victim. Leibrock was then located shortly after he had driven to Micco and then returned to Whispering Palms.
Interviews were conducted and an arrest warrant was processed for the following charges:
– Leaving the Scene of an Accident with Death
– Tampering with Evidence
The arrest warrant was finalized yesterday  and Leibrock was immediately served and arrested without further incident.
