A Rhode Island driver struck and killed a Grammy-nominated musician who was walking his dogs over the weekend – as police reveal she had over 100 prior arrests.
Roderick MacLeod, a 70-year-old musician, was walking his dogs on Route 128 around 7:21 a.m. Saturday, when he was hit and killed by an SUV, police in Hopkinton, just on the border of Connecticut, said.
The driver, 41-year-old Shannon Godbout, hit multiple objects, including two telephone poles, before striking MacLeod as he walked on the shoulder of the road with his dogs.
MacLeod is well-known as a bassist in the nearby town of Richmond, according to the report. He received a Grammy nomination as a member of the jump-blues and swing band Roomful of Blues in the 1980s.
