If convicted, Mayes is facing up to 25 years in prison and up to $100,000 in fines, or both for the hit-and-run death, and up to 6 years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines, or both for bail jumping. He is also facing a 5 year suspension of his driver's license.
A $75,000 cash bail was set for Mayes on March 14th. A Preliminary hearing for Mayes is set for March 25th.
According to the criminal complaint, a passerby getting off the I-43 Southbound freeway on the W. Lapham Street exit noticed Dimatteo's body in the side of the exit road and called 911.
