Hit-and-run in Harris County led to a swift apprehension this week, as deputies arrested a man accused of fleeing a crash that led to serious injuries. Constable Mark Herman's Office reported that on April 19, their deputies responded to a significant collision on the 2200 block of FM 1960 Road, which left at least one person needing medical care.
The suspect, later identified as Maurice McCleskey, allegedly vacated the chaos of twisted metal or even acknowledged the wreckage left behind, a breach of the law mandating drivers to stop and render aid in the event of an accident. The constable deputies managed to locate the suspect's vehicle shortly after, leading to McCleskey's arrest.
A statement by Constable Mark Herman elucidated the charges, revealing, "Maurice McClesley was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail, charged with Failure to Stop and /Render Aid. His bond was set at $5,000.00 out of the 486nd District Court."
The aftermath of the incident saw the other driver rushed by ambulance to a local hospital. The full extent of the injuries incurred remain undisclosed.
