Hit and run and causing a disturbance
Aug. 22 at 9 pm police received a report of a hit and run at the Castle Inn in Cache Creek after a white pickup truck backed into a red car and left. Police attended and found residents of the Inn arguing with a male whom they believed was driving the truck. An investigation by police showed that he was likely the suspect and he was issued a ticket for failing to remain at the scene. Having concluded the matter, the male was asked to leave but refused to do so, continuing to argue with everyone and cause a disturbance. He was arrested and placed in cells overnight, released the next morning when sober.
