A 39-year-old Orchards man who allegedly drove through a stop sign and T-boned another vehicle made an initial appearance Monday in Clark County Superior Court.
Bret Thomas McGuire appeared on suspicion of hit-and-run injury and driving under the influence.
Judge Daniel Stahnke set McGuire’s bail at $20,000. McGuire posted bond later in the day, court records show.
Shortly before 7 p.m. Friday, a Clark County sheriff’s deputy was dispatched to Northeast 99th Street and 152nd Avenue for a report of a two-vehicle crash involving injuries, according to a probable cause affidavit. Firefighters were already on scene speaking to the driver of the vehicle that was T-boned.
But before the deputy arrived, McGuire allegedly drove away. The officer was close enough to reach the area and spot McGuire’s vehicle. A short chase ensued, ending when McGuire pulled into the driveway of his Orchards-area home and exited the vehicle, according to the affidavit.
