State Rep. Thomas W. Druce, a Bucks County Republican once considered a rising star in Pennsylvania politics, was arrested yesterday on vehicular-homicide and other charges in a fatal hit-and-run accident last summer.
Druce, in a wrinkled blue suit, chewed gum and appeared nervous at his arraignment, where he also was charged with leaving the scene of an accident - which carries a mandatory jail sentence.
"This story is a tragedy," Gov. Ridge said in a statement. "I have known Tom Druce to be a man of honor, integrity, kindness and compassion. Like others who know him, I have been shocked by this news, and I have hoped that it is untrue. Now, our justice system will decide."Druce entered no plea and had no comment as he left the hearing.
"I'd be incompetent if he ever said anything," said Matthew Gover, Druce's Harrisburg attorney.

Druce had killed a VET in a hit and run and then falsified the insurance paperwork and hid the vehicle. He ended up in prison though!
