The man who struck and killed Daniel Pollack with his vehicle before fleeing the scene is an illegal immigrant, the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office announced in a press release.

Cristino Torres Romero was arrested in Tempe by Scottsdale police on Friday in connection with the Sept. 11 hit-and-run, the release said.

MSCO regularly investigates the immigration status of anyone booked into jails as part of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's efforts to fight illegal immigration, the release said.

Pollack's father, Valley real estate mogul Michael Pollack, offered a large reward for information that lead to the driver of the vehicle in the fatal hit-and-run.
