Deputies were able to find the BMW nearby and stopped the car at the corner of Southeast Monterey Road and South Kanner Highway. Deputies then had a witness identify Schneider and Winterburg.

Winterburg told deputies he was driving when he heard a boom. Winterburg said he didn't stop the car because he was unsure what happened and there was loud music playing.

Both Winterburg and Schneider were arrested and taken to the Martin County Jail on charges of leaving the scene of a crash without rendering aid to an injured person and resisting without violence.

Winterburg and Schneider were released from jail on Sunday afternoon each on $5,750 bail.
