####Man flees scene, identified by eyewitness account

Police arrested Jack Morrison, 39, on Wednesday evening for failing to report an accident at the University Avenue parking garage.

Morrison hit another car and left the scene without leaving contact information on the damaged vehicle, according to MUPD reports.

The owner of the damaged vehicle returned to his or her car that afternoon and found a note written by a witness of the accident. The note contained Morrison’s license plate number, MU Police Department spokesman Brian Weimer said.

The owner of the damaged vehicle used this information when reporting the accident. Police ran the license plate number and identified Morrison as the owner of the other vehicle.

Morrison was arrested and released on signature summons.
