March 12, 2025, at approximately 0800 hours, I, Deputy Brito, responded “Code 1” to the area of Jackson Trail Rd and University Pkwy in reference to a hit and run crash.
Upon arrival, I spoke with [VICTIM #1]. [VICTIM #1] stated he was travelling north on Jackson Trail Rd when a gray Ford F250 crossed the center line and hit his driver’s side mirror. He said he and the other driver stopped at the scene. When he called 911, the male told him he did not have time to wait, he had to get to the car auction. [VICTIM #1] stated he got a picture of the vehicle’s license plate and no further information for the driver.
While on scene I was advised to contact the Barrow County Dispatch Center. I was informed that Deputy Ariemma was out with the second driver at Greater Atlanta Auto Auction. According to Dispatch, Deputy Ariemma was told by the driver that he was told by the other driver that Barrow County Dispatch could not advise if a deputy was responding. Dispatch then advised me that they had not spoken to the driver, Deputy Ariemma was out with.

I called the number provided by Deputy Ariemma and spoke with Marco Stolfi. He stated he would come to the front and make contact with me.
Stolfi stated that [VICTIM #1] crossed the center line and their vehicle’s mirrors hit. He stated that [VICTIM #1] contacted 911. When he asked if an officer was responding, [VICTIM #1] stated that dispatch stated they did not. He then took a picture of [VICTIM #1]’s tag number and left to get to the auction.
I asked Stolfi if he had exchanged any further information with him, such as his name, address, and phone number, and he advised no. I advised Stolfi that he was being placed under arrest for hit and run. He was handcuffed behind his back, handcuffs checked for proper fit and double locked.
