Dustin Jordan of Douglas has pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide in connection with a fatal hit-and-run accident that happened on Highway 135 across from Optima Chemical on Friday, February 8, 2019. Early that morning, Jordan struck and killed John Aubrey Pond, 28, of Willacoochee, and did not stop after the accident happened.
