A late-night hit-and-run investigation quickly turns complex when the suspected driver offers conflicting accounts of the incident. Deputies responding to a crash site located an abandoned silver 2018 Subaru WRX STI with significant front-end damage at a nearby movie theater entrance around 12:24 AM. The individual, identified as a 21-year-old male, was found in the driver's seat with the vehicle keys in his pocket, yet he initially claimed a female was driving, then a friend, and finally an unknown person. He exhibited clear signs of intoxication, repeatedly losing balance, leading officers to terminate field sobriety tests due to safety concerns and his inability to comply. A passenger found nearby corroborated that the 21-year-old was indeed the driver, and blood in the vehicle matched the passenger's hand injury, solidifying the evidence against the suspect who was subsequently arrested for aggravated DUI and leaving the scene of an accident after refusing a breath test. --- Transparency through the lens of the law.
