Man Arrested in Fatal West Hollywood Hit and Run
--From the LASD MEDIA DIVISION
Shortly after midnight Thursday morning, 21-year old Hollywood resident Lauren Ann Freeman lost her life when she was struck by a car as she crossed Sunset Boulevard in the City of West Hollywood. Witnesses reported seeing the victim in the crosswalk as she walked across Sunset Blvd., at a traffic signal-controlled intersection at Hammond Avenue. A grey 2-door 2007 Bentley driving eastbound hit the victim with tremendous force. Sadly, she died at the scene.
The driver of the Bentley fled in his car without stopping to render aid. There were no license plates on the suspects car, but there was visible damage due to the impact of the collision.
At about 8:20AM, sheriff's deputies canvassing the area found a Bentley with body damage and no license places abandoned in the 400 block of Westmount Drive in West Hollywood. The registered owner of that car is 43-year old Ryan E. Bowman of Australia.
After finding the car, West Hollywood Sheriff's Station detectives made contact with several people who are known to registered owner Ryan Bowman, and explained they would like to talk to him.
At about 2:00PM today, an attorney phoned detectives with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and said that her client would like to speak to investigators. At about 4:30PM, the attorney and Ryan
Bowman came to West Hollywood Sheriff's Station.
He was arrested at the sheriff's station for vehicular manslaughter and his passport was held by detectives. His bail is set at $100,000. It is believed that alcohol was involved.
"This is a tragedy for everyone involved. Our hearts go out to the grieving family of Lauren Freeman," said West Hollywood Sheriff's Station Captain Kelley Fraser. "The criminal investigation is ongoing.

Booking Photos from West Hollywood always look so "sexy." NOT!
Do we know when the funeral is going to be held for Lauren, and the location? Can someone please put the details on these "blog" comments. Thanks Randy for being on top of this tragedy. I didn't know Lauren, but I live in Hollywood, and this has really made me angry and sad. :(
Ryan is innocent until PROVEN GUILTY in a COURT OF LAW. This worldwide attempt to "hang em" before his first court appearance is an outrage.
I am a reporter in Jyväskylä, Finland. Do you have a contact phone number for Mr. Ryan atterney? Can you post the atterney name?
It's a tragedy however Ryan is a good guy. I know him. Bad circumstances, wrong decisions made at a split second. I know this will shatter him. Best to the family of Miss Freeman.
This is my take, for what it is worth. I know Ryan. He is a good man. He has recently made many "bad" decisions in his life. I hope is will give his life to God. I should have never ran away from this horrible incident. I pray for Lauren's many friends and family. We all need to learn from this.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
though you relied on the video to make your point.
You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence
on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be
giving us something informative to read?
