A 59-year-old Rochester man was arrested and booked into the Lewis County Jail on multiple charges Monday afternoon after he allegedly drove recklessly through the City of Centralia, ran over multiple street signs and collided with two parked vehicles.
The man’s reckless driving was first reported at 4:25 p.m. on Nov. 20 at the intersection of Harrison and Reynolds avenues, according to the Centralia Police Department.
He reportedly crashed his vehicle through multiple street signs before hitting an occupied vehicle and crashing into the back of a trailer along Maple Street in Centralia. Law enforcement quickly located the driver, who had fled the scene down Iron Street, and arrested him.
Jail records indicate he was booked at approximately 7 p.m. that same day.
As of Tuesday morning, the man, identified by the Centralia Police Department as Donald R. Fletcher, faced a felony first-degree malicious mischief charge in Lewis County Superior Court, as well as gross misdemeanor third-degree malicious mischief and reckless driving charges and two misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run to attended vehicles.
