On September 13th, 2025, at approximately 20:04, I arrived on the scene of an accident on Bobby Kent Road near Chaserville Road. I observed a white Ford F-150 in the roadway with dirt all over it and flat front tires. I was informed by the deputy on scene that the driver was not on the scene. The driver was being brought back. I was informed the driver was trying to move the F-150 from the point of impact on scene. I began my crash investigation while waiting on the driver to return. I could see a vehicle’s headlights stationary down the roadway of Bobby Kent Road.

Soon after, I was told the owner of the F-150 is with the suspected driver and is bringing the driver back. A white Honda HR-V soon arrived. In the vehicle was a man and a woman. The man in the passenger seat was the suspected driver of the F-150. I asked the man why he left the scene. The driver quickly denied that he was the driver. I asked the man to exit the vehicle. The man just sat there and appeared to be thinking. I asked again and the man opened the door. The man raised his hand above his head upon exiting. I instructed the man to walk to my patrol car. At the patrol car, I was able to identify him by his Georgia Driver’s License as a Mr. Michael Ein Carr. I could smell the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Mr. Carr. I asked Mr. Carr how much he had to drink that day. Mr. Carr stated he had not been drinking. I asked Mr. Carr for a sample of his breath and he gave a verbal refusal.

I talked with the owner of the F-150. The owner was identified by their Georgia Driver’s License as a Ms. [REDACTED]. Ms. [REDACTED] stated that Mr. Carr was the driver of her vehicle, and that Mr. Carr called her to pick him up. Ms. [REDACTED] went on to tell a story about her relationship to Mr. Carr. I went back to Mr. Carr to ask why he was lying about the situation. Mr. Carr continued to deny he was involved. Mr. Carr then later stated he admits to drinking that day but continued to say he was not the driver. I was informed that the caller helped get the vehicle back on the roadway but did not want to stay on the scene. The deputy told me the description of Mr. Carr matched what the caller said.

Mr. Carr was placed under arrest for leaving the scene of accident and placed inside the patrol car. Mr. Carr was read his Miranda Warning at 20:35. Mr. Carr gave non-verbal answers when asked if he understood. Mr. Carr was read the Georgia Implied Consent Notice for Suspects Age 21 or over for a chemical test of his blood at 20:54. Mr. Carr just stared at me for a moment and gave a non-verbal no, then stated he wanted his lawyer. While completing the crash investigation and the towing of the vehicle, inside the patrol, Mr. Carr was very talkative. Mr. Carr asked a lot of questions and attempted to offend me. Mr. Carr was transported to Berrien County Jail. On the way there, I observed Mr. Carr sleeping. Mr. Carr was released to the staff for booking and processing.
