Suspect Arrested in Hit-and-Run

Detectives from the Citrus Heights Police Department (CHPD) have arrested a 47-year-old male suspected in hitting two pedestrians and then fleeing the scene, according to an official press release.

On the evening of November 18, 2012, just after 9 pm, officers from the CHPD reportedly responded to a report of a vehicle striking two pedestrians in the 7900 block of Auburn Boulevard. According to eye witnesses, the impact forced the pedestrians into a business, breaking a plate glass window. Officers arrived on scene and found two victims – one of the victims was transported to an area hospital for treatment.

CHPD detectives reportedly investigated the crime and a suspect was identified. According to the CHPD’s investigation, the day of the incident two co-workers had been arguing. One co-worker called her husband, who responded to the area to confront the victim. The husband, later identified as suspect Anthony Robinson, located the victim standing in front of a closed business suite. According to CHPD, Robinson intentionally ran his vehicle into the victim and a second unrelated male, and then left the area in what was described as a gold SUV.

Robinson, who was reportedly later located at his residence where he was taken into custody, is a 47-year-old black male from North Highlands, CA. The CHPD says the vehicle used in the assault was located a short distance from the suspect’s residence. Robinson was reportedly booked at the Sacramento County Jail without incident.
