Police seeking driver in hit-and-run case
Warrenton Police are looking for the driver in a hit-and-run incident that happened earlier this month.
According to Warrenton Police Chief Connie Novak, the driver has been identified as Eblin Omar Ardon-Amaya, 29. Ardon-Amaya's last known address was on Haiti Street in Warrenton.
He is now wanted on charges of felony hit-and-run and driving revoked.
Novak said the charges stem from an incident that happened at approximately 10:30 p.m. Feb. 3.
"Several resident of Split Oak Drive called to say a drunk driver was hitting cars trying to get out of the parking lot," Novak said. "One resident was almost hit trying to stop the man. Four vehicles were damaged," she added.
The chief went on to say that a 2000 Nissan, a 1998 Honda and a 2005 Chrysler each sustained $500 in damages. A 1997 Plymouth sustained approximately $3,000 in damages.
"When police arrived, the man was gone, but another call came in of an accident on Branch Drive and Oak Springs Drive. The same vehicle had hit a woman in her vehicle broadside," Novak explained.
The female motorist reportedly sustained shoulder injuries and was taken to Fauquier Hospital.
Her vehicle sustained $7,000 in damages, while the other car driven by the man ultimately identified as Ardon-Amaya sustained about $5,000 in damages, the chief said.
Ardon-Amaya allegedly fled the scene on foot after hitting the female motorist.
