HIT AND RUN

A Ward Street man has been summonsed for a wild situation near Copeland Circle on April 3 involving an airport shuttle.

Around 7:30 p.m., the shuttle driver observed a car driving erratically near Copeland Circle. Suddenly, the car hit the curb, went into the guardrail and started spinning. As it spun around, it hit the bus in the front end.

The driver immediately stopped the bus and got out to check on the other driver.

Witnesses said the other driver appeared intoxicated, and the bus driver proceeded to take a picture of the man’s registration. As he did that, the man allegedly assaulted him, got back in the car and tore out the wrong way on Copeland Circle.

Police arrived and, using the registration photo, tried to locate the man at his home, but he wasn’t there.

The next morning, Showcase Cinemas reported that the damaged vehicle was in their lot. Revere Police put the two incidents together and were able to talk to the man – who then requested an attorney.

John Macharia, 36, of 145 Ward St., was charged with operating a motor vehicle negligently, leaving the scene of property damage, and assault and battery.

 

OH SNAP!

A hearing has been set up in Chelsea District Court.
