Arrest After Fan Killed Dribbling Ball To Brazil A driver has been arrested over the death of a man who was hit from behind by a pick-up truck while dribbling a football from the US to Brazil for charity. Richard Swanson had planned to dribble the ball for more than a year through 11 countries to Sao Paolo in time for the opening World Cup 2014 game on June 12. The 42-year-old from Seattle was hit while walking south along a busy road near Lincoln City on May 14. He was just 250 miles into his 10,000-mile (16,000km) challenge to promote the One World Futbol Project, which donates footballs to developing countries. Mr Swanson set off from Seattle on May 1 and was mainly staying with strangers who befriended him along the route. Police in Oregon detained Scott Van Hiatt, of Neskowin, on Monday on a charge of criminally negligent homicide, which carries a maximum prison term of 10 years. He is due to appear at Lincoln County Circuit Court later.
