An off-duty New Jersey police officer was arrested after allegedly killing a nurse with his vehicle before transporting her body away from the scene before returning it, prosecutors say.

Louis Santiago, 25, was alleged to have struck and killed nurse Damian Dymka, who was walking on the side of the Garden State Parkway at around 3 a.m. on Nov. 1, said a news release from the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office last week. Santiago surrendered several days ago, officials said.
