A hit-and-run suspect from Kentucky was arrested Friday evening after slipping out the back door of a home in Oxford Oaks in an attempt to evade law enforcement.
S, 44, of Louisville, Kentucky, was taken into custody following a traffic crash that occurred shortly after 6:30 p.m. on Roma Road in the family development off U.S. 301.
According to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, the Wildwood Police Department was the first agency to respond to the crash. Officers on the scene allowed S, the at-fault driver, to enter a nearby residence to use the bathroom. When a sheriff’s deputy arrived to take over the crash investigation, he was given permission to search the home and discovered S had fled out the back door.
The deputy instructed the resident to call S on his cell phone and advise him to return to the scene. S eventually came back, and two witnesses positively identified him as the driver of the vehicle.
A computer check revealed that S was driving with a suspended license. In addition to his criminal charges, S was issued traffic citations for careless driving, driving with a suspended license, leaving the scene of a crash with property damage and operating a vehicle with a registration that had been expired for more than six months.
S was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center on misdemeanor charges of hit-and-run and driving while license suspended. He was released after posting $1,000 bond.
