WILMINGTON — Navigating a parking deck can be difficult for some, but one man managed to hit a car, a wall, and nearly took out the ticket booth at a Wilmington parking garage.
According to the Wilmington Police Department, warrants have been obtained for Aaron Ray Shepard, 40, after fleeing the North Second Street parking deck. The incident took place on June 5, around 8:48 a.m. according to time-stamped security footage.
“Officers responded to the parking deck on North Second Street on June 5th in reference to a hit and run. The witness, a ticket booth operator, told officers she observed the suspect who had just entered the deck hit a parked car and then the wall of the parking deck while searching for a space. When she approached him, Shepard, of Winnabow, fled. Prior to Shepard exiting the deck, the witness was able to note the registration,” according to police.
“Police obtained warrants for hit and run leaving the scene with property damage, driving with revoked license and driving without insurance. Anyone with information on Shepard’s whereabouts should contact WPD at 910-343-3609 or use Text A Tip,” police said.
