A suspect is accused of fleeing the scene of a hit and run carrying a 2-year-old boy who was also in the car at the time.
Kwame Asomani, 32 of the 7800 block of Belford Drive, Alexandria, was charged with felony child neglect, driving under the influence (2nd in 5 years) and hit & run.
At 10:04 p.m. Sunday, officers responded to the 13500 block of Quate Lane regarding a crash. Officers arrived to find the vehicle with significant damage. Witnesses reported that the driver fled the scene carrying a small child, according to police spokesperson Officer Jonathan Perok.
