Hydrant Provides Hit-And-Run Clue

A $10 garage sale fine has become a key piece of evidence in a misdemeanor hit-and-run accident earlier this year, according to a CPD Blue report. On Saturday, Ex-water department worker Terry Anderson thought the top section of a fire hydrant he spotted at a Third Street yard sale would look good in his garden. So he gave a slightly drunk fortysomething tenant a sawbuck and took it home. Where he discovered upon closer examination that it was a newer hydrant. In fact, it was part of the hydrant that had disappeared from the intersection of Foster and Government Way after a hit-and-run accident. The statute of limitations has run out on the accident. But the hydrant is worth more than $1600. So CPD Blue is now investigating the incident as a grand theft. And Terry was able to point out where the yard sale took place. Stay tuned.
