17-Year-Old Arrested for DUI, Hit and Run at Wildhorse

A juvenile fled the scene of an accident after driving off road and crashing into a street sign in the neighborhood around 11 am Monday.

The accident took place on the corner of Moore Boulevard and Whistler Court. 

Davis Police Officers later found the person who they believe to be the driver. They arrested the 17-year-old male and charged him with DUI and hit-and-run. They also determined that he was unlicensed.

“Using the information on the car, [officers] tracked down the subject,” said Davis Lt. Paul Doroshov. “The accident was called in by somebody who was jogging by.”

The department has information from witnesses that there was a female passenger in the vehicle as well, but they do not yet know who that person is and whether or not she was injured.

Officers took a breath sample of the suspect, but since it’s a prosecutable case involving a juvenile, the department can’t share the specifics.

Patch user Johnny Dang sent a news tip to Davis Patch about an hour after incident, informing us that there was police activity in the Wildhorse housing area.

If you have any information about the female passenger, please contact authorities.
