MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A former Shelby County sheriff's deputy has been indicted on reckless homicide charges in the death of a driver who crashed on an Interstate-240 exit ramp.

According to a news release from the Shelby County district attorney's office, Alvin Dortch was taken into custody on Monday and is being held on $5,000 bond.

Dortch is accused of shooting at a pickup truck and then lying about a subsequent traffic crash that killed 23-year-old driver Ignacio Arcos in June.

Shelby County Sheriff Mark Luttrell has said video from the deputy's cruiser showed the 47-year-old Dortch pulled Arcos over and then fired at the truck as Arcos sped off.

Dortch was fired following an administrative hearing on July 15.
