FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
On 01-10-15, at approximately 7:28 PM, Angels Camp Police Officers were dispatched to a report of a heard only traffic collision in the 1600 block of S. Main Street. Officers arrived on scene a few minutes later and found that a full size Chevrolet pick-up drove off of the west shoulder of S. Main Street and collided with a fence, some cement pillars and a tree. The vehicle sustained major damage to the right side, and the driver fled the scene of the collision prior to the officers arriving. There were no other vehicles or pedestrians involved.
Evidence located near the scene of the collision indicated that the driver of the truck was entering a turn too fast and drove into the oncoming, northbound lane of S. Main Street. The driver of the truck attempted to maneuver back into the southbound lane, over-corrected and then drove off of the west shoulder of S. Main Street.
An unidentified witness advised officers that he responded to the location when he heard the collision and attempted to chase the driver of the truck when he fled. A search of the area began and officers located a subject yelling and screaming in a field that is in the 1700 block of S. Main Street, approximately one block away from the site of the collision. The subject was located and detained with the assistance of a police K-9, and was later identified and subsequently determined to be the driver of the truck involved in the collision.
Timothy Mark Nolan Jr., a 30-year-old Angels Camp resident, was arrested and booked into the Calaveras County Jail on the following charges;
1) 23152(a) and (b) of the CA Vehicle Code, Driving Under the Influence
2) 20002(a) of the CA Vehicle Code, Hit and Run
3) 148(a)(1) of the CA Penal Code, Resisting or Obstructing a Peace Officer
