SALISBURY, N.C. -- An illegal immigrant accused of driving drunk and causing a fatal accident last month pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges second-degree murder, driving while intoxicated and driving without a license.
Rigo Martinez was arrested following a crash on Main Street in Landis that killed 20-year-old Leanna Newman and her unborn child. He has not entered a plea on charges of hit-and-run and failure to stop after causing property damage.
Authorities say Martinez has been arrested in Rowan County under at least six different names and has been deported twice before. He is being held at Central Prison in Raleigh.
