DETROIT, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - Amir Napper, a 20-year-old Detroit man was arraigned on four counts related to a fatal crash, the Michigan State Police said Thursday. 

Napper is charged with first-degree fleeing, reckless driving causing death, operating while license suspended, revoked or denied -- causing death, and carrying a concealed weapon, according to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.

Napper received a $50,000 bond on Thursday. However, that bond changed to $100,000 after a bond re-determination hearing on Monday, Dec. 18. If released, he must wear a GPS tether and be on house arrest.  

The incident happened on Dec. 11 on the freeway near Schoolcraft Road.

Police say Napper allegedly drove at high speed, fleeing from police after they attempted a traffic stop. Napper crashed into another vehicle, killing 59-year-old Eric Miller, of Detroit.

His next court hearing is scheduled for Dec. 21 and 28.
