An Indiana man is in jail after police say he drunkenly hit another driver then tried to flee the scene with the other driver clinging to the hood of his car.
Patrick Lee Ryan, 38, faces several felony charges in connection with an alleged hit-and-run incident that took place at an intersection in Evansville on Sunday. According to a probable cause affidavit reviewed by Law&Crime, Ryan allegedly rear-ended another driver near the intersection of N. Kentucky Avenue and E. Diamond Avenue at around 3:30 p.m. When the other driver got out of the car to inspect the damage, Ryan got out of his car, and the other driver immediately noticed that “something was not right” about him.
According to the affidavit, the other driver went to take pictures of the damage but realized he did not have his phone on him. At that point, police said Ryan allegedly took the opportunity to return to his vehicle. The other driver told police that he saw Ryan “needed to hold onto his vehicle and bumped into his vehicle trying to get back into it.”…
