On the above date and time, I, Deputy Daniels, responded to a hit-and-run call at 3914 River Place Dr.
Upon arrival, I spoke with Ms. [VICTIM #1], who stated that Mr. Benjamin Wynes exited the bar, entered his vehicle, backed into her vehicle, and then drove away down the street to his hotel. When deputies arrived, Mr. Wynes had returned to the scene and was waiting with Ms. [VICTIM #1]. When asked where his vehicle was located, Mr. Wynes stated that he had driven it back to the hotel and then walked back to the bar. When asked how much he had consumed, Mr. Wynes stated that he had a few drinks that evening. While at the hospital, Mr. Wynes repeatedly stated that he was drunk but did not remember driving.
