A Missouri man is scheduled to appear in court in the middle of May regarding charges stemming from an incident where he reportedly crashed into a convenience store, causing over $3,000 in damage, and drove away before dealing with the situation.

Just before midnight on February 27, the surveillance camera at a Kum & Go gas station convenience store in Springfield recorded a vehicle as it smashed into the side of the building and caused two large glass windows worth an estimated $3,700 to shatter. Right after the incident, the driver of the truck, which was identified as a 2012 Dodge Ram, reportedly backed up and drove away. The employees notified the authorities, and law enforcement from the Springfield Police Department headed to the business to investigate.

About 10 minutes after the accident, and before an officer arrived, the person later believed to be the driver of the truck went back to the Kum & Go and this time entered the store. The man started talking to one of the workers about the situation, but did not mention having anything to do with the incident before he left the premises a second time. Just after midnight, he returned a third time and went into the store. While there, the officer showed up, and before leaving, the man reportedly said he was not involved in the situation. The officer used the surveillance footage to try to identify the suspect, and the video allegedly confirmed that the person he spoke with was the driver of the truck.

A Connecticut woman was arrested last week after allegedly causing a wreck while driving under the influence with a 2-year-old in her car.

On the morning of February 24, a 35-year-old woman from East Hartford was driving on the Interstate with a 2-year-old in her vehicle. When she reached her exit and entered the ramp, the woman allegedly smashed into the back of another car. The authorities were notified, and state police troopers went to the location. When they arrived and inspected the site, they noted that no injuries were sustained by the people involved, and they believed the crash occurred because the woman failed to leave enough space between her car and the vehicle in front of her.

According to reports, when she talked to the troopers, the woman reportedly said she couldn’t stop fast enough to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The troopers believed she was acting as if she was intoxicated, and she allegedly performed poorly when taking roadside sobriety tests.
