The boy, who had been riding an electric scooter, died the next day of internal injuries.
Repko, also of Winslow, did not stop and drove to a remote area, where he allegedly took steps to try to hide the damage to his car, Shralow said. Repko then drove to a bar and took a taxi home. When police arrived to arrest him, he struggled with officers.
Repko is also charged with resisting arrest, assault on a police officer, driving while intoxicated, and leaving the scene of an accident. He has remained at the Camden County jail since his arrest, having failed to post $250,000 bail, Shralow said. - Sam Wood
