No arrest was made after a crash that damaged multiple vehicles and upturned a red Mercedes-Benz in Old Town earlier this month.
According to a recently released search warrant affidavit, at around 9 p.m. on Monday, March 3, witnesses reported to police that the red luxury car crashed into a black Nissan Sentra, a white Subaru Outback, and a black Toyota Camry and then flipped over in the 900 block of S. Columbus Street.
One witness told police that they ran to the vehicle and saw a man inside the Mercedes-Benz break a window, crawl out, and stand up. According to the search warrant affidavit, the suspect is a Black male about six feet two inches tall, with baby dreadlocks, wearing a dark hoodie, a white T-shirt, and dark pants.
“(The witness) asked the male if he called 911, to which he replied, ‘You call 911,’ and then fled on foot westbound on Green Street,” police said in the search warrant affidavit.
The Mercedes-Benz had temporary plates from North Carolina, but it was found not to be stolen after police conducted a 50-state VIN check, according to radio dispatches.
