Texas police who arrested a teen boy covered in "a large amount of dried blood" at the scene of an car accident are convinced that the blood does not belong to him, or is  even related to the crash at all.

The Tarrant County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to the scene of a "major accident" off Interstate 20 in Fort Worth at around 1:55 a.m. Monday. They found 18-year-old Aaron Richard, the driver of a 1997 white single cab Chevrolet pickup with Texas license plate DFH2650, and saw dried blood all over the truck and the suspect.

"The driver was uncooperative when asked about the source of the blood," the sheriff's office said.

Deputies found a "large amount of blood" on the driver's side A-frame and the outside of the truck bed. The truck had damage to the driver's side door, the tailgate, and the front left quarter panel. A traffic cone was found in the bed of the pickup, which had writing all over the rear window.

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, investigators believe the dried blood does not belong to Richard, and was not the result of the crash.

The sheriff's office did not say whether they suspect the blood is the result of homicide.

Richard was arrested for driving while intoxicated and booked into Lon Evans Corrections Center.

The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information about the incident or the source of the blood to contact the Criminal Investigation Division at 817-884-1305 and reference report #2024-08630.
