A woman was taken into custody at Waffle House in Wildwood early Wednesday morning in the hit-and-run death of a 17-year-old from Belleview.

Vanish Vanessa Weir, 27, of Ocala, is suspected of being the driver of a 2006 Hyundai Sonata that struck and killed Zachery Troy Holt at 1 a.m. on U.S. 301 at SE 125th Place in Belleview, according to an accident report from the Florida Highway Patrol. He had been walking along the roadway when he was struck and killed by a vehicle that left the scene.

Weir, who had got off work at Burger King before the accident occurred, later contacted law enforcement and reported that her car had been vandalized.

Information was obtained that the vehicle suspected of being involved in the accident was at the Waffle House in Wildwood. Sumter County sheriff’s deputies assisted FHP in locating Weir.

She is now facing a charge of leaving the scene of a crash involving death.

She is also charged with tampering with evidence.

Holt was a Belleview High School student.
