(see prior post of May 2, 2017: Update on Saturday, 4/29/2017 Cyclist Hit & Run - Police seek your help)

I was advised that the subject is to be charged with three felonies – three counts of leaving a scene of an accident with injuries and two misdemeanors – leaving the scene of the accident with property damage.

I want to thank our MDPD/Palmetto Bay Policing Unit for their persistence and talent so far in this case. I particularly want to recognize MDPD/Palmetto Bay Motor Officer Mike Valdez.
