New Port Richey, Florida
A New Port Richey Police officer is out of jail on bond, facing numerous charges in an early morning hit and run crash.
The Florida Highway Patrol says 30-year-old Christopher Sutherlin slammed his 2006 Nissan pickup into the back of another truck around 3:00 a.m. on Sunset Road in Pasco County.
Troopers say Sutherlin took off, but was forced to stop because of heavy damage to his vehicle.
A passenger in Sutherlin's truck, as well as the driver in the other truck, were slightly injured.
Troopers say Sutherlin's breath test registered a .148 and a .151 blood-alcohol level.
Florida law presumes drivers impaired at .08.
