ALIQUIPPA, PA – A man is facing several charges following a car wreck in Hopewell Township last week, police said.
In a Facebook post, the Aliquippa Police Department said officers were dispatched to the area of Main Street and Maratta Road Dec. 27 shortly before 11 p.m.
A Pennsylvania state constable observed that a blue Chrysler 200 had crashed into a fence and a utility pole. The constable advised dispatch that the driver fled from the vehicle while carrying a liquor bottle. The constable provided a description of the man.
Later, a man called in to report his vehicle had been stolen and came to the scene. The constable advised police that it was the same man who had been driving the car, crashed and fled. The man was identified as 27-year-old Raishaun Jeter of Aliquippa.
