Unidentified victimDetails
Madison Police responded to the 200 block of North Thompson Drive on 6/10/2012, at approximately 11:30pm reference a hit and run accident. An officer immediately contacted Jorge Munguia-Torres, who was standing by with security, as they tried to obtain details about a significant accident that had recently occurred. Officers had suspicions that Munguia-Torres might have information, as he had been seen attempting to start one of the involved vehicles just before police arrived. Munguia-Torres stated that he was preparing food when a vehicle (that he could not describe) struck him and drove away. The officer struggled to accept the believability of that story, as there was no food preparation equipment (barbeque grills/outdoor stoves) anywhere in the vicinity. Munguia-Torres assured the officer that he had not been driving, and knew absolutely nothing about an accident involving his vehicle (which had significant damage and a front bumper that was completely detached)! When the officer tried to balance the initial story offered by Munguia-Torres, which seemed to be a great departure from a reasonable explanation to what was being observed, Munguia-Torres did recant and stated the he misrepresented the facts due to being afraid. Officers allowed Munguia-Torres the opportunity to prove his sobriety by performing standardize field tests, but he was taken into custody for a variety of charges listed above, with a BAC of .17. When the vehicle was searched, 12-ounce cans of both Bud Light and Modelo were found amidst spilled beer on the floor of the 1994 Acura Legend. No one was injured in this crash.
