On June 29, 2025, at approximately 1258 hours, I responded to a two vehicle crash on Mac Johnson Road and the private drive located at [100 BLOCK] Mac Johnson Road.
Upon my arrival, it was determined that a Toyota was traveling south on Mac Johnson Road and a Ram pickup was entering the roadway from the private drive located at [100 BLOCK] Mac Johnson Road. The driver of the pickup entered the Toyota’s path causing a crash. The driver of the Ram then jumped the fence and fled the scene entering the residence at [100 BLOCK] Mac Johnson Road. The owner of the vehicle had exited the residence and moved it out of the roadway.
I arrived on scene and made contact with the driver of the Toyota, [VICTIM #1], and she stated the driver of the truck pulled out in front of her never stopping. After the crash occurred, the driver jumped the fence and ran across the yard entering the residence. [VICTIM #1] described the driver as a male who was wearing a white shirt and pajama pants and stated a child brought the owner the keys to the truck and stated, “dad told me to give you these”. I questioned the owner, Mrs. Eppie Small, about who was driving the truck. Mrs. Small informed me that it was an employee who went by the name of “Yolo”. I asked Mrs. Small if she had a W2, W9, or any 1099’s with this employees information and she stated it was just an under the table deal and that he had only worked there for a few day. The vehicle that was crashed was a 2021 Ram 2500.
I then approached the residence and began speaking with her husband and questioned him about the crash. Mr. Small informed me that it was an employee who had been driving the truck. I asked him about how long the employee had worked there and he stated 2-3 years, but he did not know anything else about him.
The next day, I went to a nearby residence who had cameras and reviewed the footage. The footage showed the male running across the yard matching the description of Mr. Small. I then contacted Ms. [VICTIM #1] and told her that I had identified the driver and showed her a picture. Ms. [VICTIM #1] stated that was 100 percent him and warrants were taken for the charges listed on this report.
