Maryland Natural Resources Police reported a Parkville man was charged after hit-and-run after hitting a marked NRP Patrol vehicle in Ellicott City Here is the statement from NRP:
On June 20, a Maryland Natural Resources Police officer on routine patrol was rear-ended by another car, whose driver fled the scene.
Traveling westbound on Frederick Road approaching Main Street in Ellicott City, while at a complete stop, the officer’s patrol vehicle was rear-ended by a gold Acura sedan.
The driver of the striking vehicle stopped to evaluate the damage and was asked to provide a driver’s license and insurance information, at which time the driver re-entered his vehicle, made a U-turn into the eastbound lane, and drove away at a high rate of speed.
After an attempted pursuit, officers reviewed recorded footage of the incident but were unable to identify the vehicle, which displayed a temporary registration tag.
A call for public assistance was issued through social media, showing body-worn camera imagery of the driver. After several tips from the public, the driver – a 50-year-old Parkville man – was identified and located.
He was later charged with driving without a license, driving on a suspended license, attempt to elude police, reckless driving, negligent driving, failure to remain at the scene of an accident, failure to produce license and insurance, and disobeying the lawful order of a police officer.
