COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Boone County deputies have arrested a Columbia man for a crash that left a child hurt over the weekend.
On Monday, the Boone County Sheriff’s Office said it was searching for a driver accused of hitting a 9-year-old girl with their car in the 700 block of Demaret Drive on Sunday night. Deputies originally said they were looking for a woman, but a social media post on Tuesday morning said they arrested 40-year-old Frank Gee IV on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident.
Charges against Gee were not available in online court records Tuesday morning.
The girl was taken to a hospital, though she was alert and talking when emergency crews got to the scene on Sunday night.
Gee was not on the Boone County Jail roster on Tuesday.
