On May 1st, Chattooga County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a report of a hit and run on Marble Springs Road in Summerville.  According to a report released this week, deputies spoke with the complainant who said that an older model, grey car pulled in her driveway to turn around and backed into her black, 2008 Dodge Dakota causing damage to the tailgate.  The complainant approached the driver who refused to give her insurance information but said he would return the next day and pay her for her tailgate. Later that same evening, deputies spotted the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop at the Dollar General on Commerce Street.  A passenger, William Mose Walker admitted that he was the one who had backed into the Dodge earlier.  Deputies noticed an open container of beer and another alcoholic beverage in the seat next to Walker.  Deputies obtained Walker’s insurance information and issued him a citation for open container and leaving the scene of an accident.
