Christmas hit-and-run captured on video leads to charges

Russ Kohut’s Christmas morning was interrupted by a grinch driving a pickup truck.

Kohut’s security camera captured a truck skidding off the road and crashing into his two vehicles parked outside his Central Avenue home.

The driver didn’t stop and Kohut posted the video on Facebook in hopes of locating the driver.

It worked.

Police said they were notified about the hit-and-run around 5 p.m. and located the driver a short time later.

In an email, police said the 49-year-old man was issued two tickets.
