On Tuesday, August 19, 2025, at approximately 1033 hours, I was dispatched to 266 N Dixie Ave (McDonald’s) in reference to a hit and run that had accord that morning. Once on scene, I was able to speak with the victim, [VICTIM #1].
[VICTIM #1] was able to give the security footage from within the McDonalds that showed the accident, and what the drive was wearing (Green long-sleeve collared shirt, Khaki’s, and a base ball hat). [VICTIM #1] was unable to capture a picture of the license plate from the vehicle, but he was able to get pictures of the trunk of the vehicle. The trunk of the vehicle had multiple stickers. [VICTIM #1] was able to obtain a make and model (Silver Infiniti QX56) from the video. With this information, Sgt. Cooney was able to locate a vehicle matching the description on FLOCK. The registered owner of the vehicles address was [300 BLOCK] Douglas St.
With this information, I relocated to [300 BLOCK] Douglas St, where I observed a Silver Infiniti QX56 in the driveway with stickers on the trunk. I was able to inspect the outside of the vehicle, where I located a fresh paint scratch on the vehicle that was consistent with the damage on the victim’s vehicle. At this time, I approached the house of [300 BLOCK] Douglas St, where I was able to speak with Mr. Armando Borja (the registered owner of the vehicle).
While speaking with Mr. Borja, I observed him to be wearing the same green long sleeve shirt and khaki pants as the man seen driving the Infiniti QX56 at McDonalds. I tried to speak with Mr. Borja about the event, but he was uncooperative. Mr. Borja only admitted to being at McDonald’s on the morning of the incident.
Due to Mr. Borja’s being on camera inside the McDonald’s, striking [VICTIM #1]’s vehicle on camera, and leaving the scene of the accident, Mr. Borja was placed under arrest. Mr. Borja was handcuffed in front, checked for fit, and double locked. He was then placed into the rear of my marked department-issued patrol vehicle. He was then transported to 104 Zena Dr (BCSO) and was turned over to the deputy on scene without incident. My Marked department-issued patrol vehicle is searched prior to and after each arrest, yielding no contraband. Warrants were obtained for Mr. Borja’s arrest for hit and run (WNO CE-0175814).
Video and picture were uploaded to Polaris from McDonald’s.
