At 5:30 p.m. a student went to the front desk of Richardson Residence Hall to report a hit and run thatoccurred in the Dalton Hall Lot. (He left a note at the front desk containing the suspect’s vehicle information) the report said.
The reporting officers retrieved the note from the front desk at 5:43 p.m. and proceeded to the Dalton Hall Lot to locate the student’s vehicle. Police contacted the student and he said he had just parked his vehicle on the row across from the suspect and saw her tail lights in his rearview mirror. He said he saw her sorority sticker on her window and thought to himself that he might know her. The student said as he walked away from his vehicle he heard what sounded like metal on metal and turned around and saw that the suspect had just struck the student’s vehicle as she was backing out of her spot, police said.
The student said the suspect looked back with a “surprised” expression but proceeded to leave the scene.
The reporting officers contacted the student and the suspect and met with both parties. The suspect was issued a citation. She denied any involvement, the report said.
