North Adams Man Arrested In Hit-And-Run Crash

The Berkshire Eagle reports a North Adams man is being held without bail in the hit-in-run motorcycle crash last week that killed Pittsfield resident Alan Keefe.

Brian Dillard, 32, was arrested late Thursday by North Adams Police.

In addition to the charges in the fatal crash, he was accused, along with another man, of participating in a break-in at the North Adams auto shop where he worked. Police also said he was driving with a license under suspension for operating under the influence.

Dillard allegedly had stolen the truck from the shop, Cariddi Auto, days earlier, and, according to a witness, used it to drive to Pittsfield to purchase drugs.
