Truck hits several parked vehicles, porch in Mexico

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A truck hit several parked vehicles, drove through yards and hit a home's front porch before driving off early Sunday in Mexico, Missouri, according to police.

The Mexico Department of Public Safety stated in a news release that the driver, Luis D. Soberon-Companioni, 32, of Florida, was arrested a few minutes later during a traffic stop near East Love and Jeffries streets. The damage occurred in the 1500 block of North Olive Street.

Soberon refused to cooperate with a breath test and a blood draw, and police could not find a medical facility to draw his blood because of his agitated state, according to a probable cause statement. He kicked one officer in the groin, after which several officers carried him to a holding cell, the statement says.

Prosecutors charged Soberon-Companioni with four misdemeanors and two felonies. The felonies are for leaving the scene of a crash and tampering with physical evidence, and the misdemeanors are two counts of leaving the scene of a crash and one count apiece of DWI and fourth-degree assault.

An initial court hearing was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. Bond was set at $25,000.
