According to police documents, officers were called to the scene of a traffic incident involving a pedestrian, where witnesses reported seeing Navarrete get out of the car and run away from the accident.
The affidavit states that the pedestrian was pinned against a wall by Navarrete’s car and taken to the hospital with a broken femur and a “large laceration” on the leg with the broken femur.
A witness pursued Navarrete and “detained him until officers arrived,” according to the affidavit. Navarrete allegedly did not provide his name to officers when they asked, and he also reportedly attempted to prevent officers from seeing his ID.
