On Wednesday 1/25/17, at approximately 1000 hrs, SPD officers responded to an injury hit and run accident that occurred in the intersection of North 14th St. and Michigan Ave. A 68-year-old woman was walking in the crosswalk when she was struck by the suspect, who fled the scene. A concerned eyewitness called the police and then followed the suspect vehicle relaying important information so officers could eventually locate, stop, and arrest the 18year old male, Sheboygan County resident. The suspect was arrested for felony hit and run and other traffic offenses. Impairment was not a driving factor. The pedestrian was taken to a local hospital by ambulance. Later, it was determined she sustained multiple bruises but was eventually released from the hospital.
