A truck driver charged with killing a woman whose body was found in Dania Beach was ordered held without bond Tuesday.

Raul Serrano, 28, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 49-year-old Lacy Michelle Woolridge, who partially clothed body was found in the 3100 block of State Road 84 Saturday, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.

He also beat his head against the table in the interview room, the report said. He was hospitalized for his injuries but made his first appearance in bond court Tuesday morning.
