Leaving the scene is a crime in all 50 states. Felony hit and run only if serious injury, DUI or fatality.

i'm from CT and I asked the officer who made contact with the individual last night why wasn't he arrested right then and there as he admitted guilt, he gave me some very grey answer and said he will put the paperwork thru and get a warrant for his arrest and go from there. Who knows, maybe this guy is a neighbor of the mayor's secretary's uncle or something. Kinda odd how my girlfriend and I found where this guy lives and where his truck was even before the police did. I know it's only material things, and my girlfriend and I aren't injured physically from the incident, but the last two nights I haven't slept too well.

You want answers. You want the guilty party held responsible. All deservedly so. Unfortunately the wheels of justice sometimes turn a little slower than we'd like.
