A Salina man was arrested Friday night after two hit-and-run incidents in the southern part of the city.
Officers were first dispatched to the area of the 200 block of E. Ray Avenue at 10 p.m. Friday for the report of a hit-and-run crash. A Dodge Ram pickup that was traveling eastbound had struck a mailbox in that block and then struck a parked 1987 Dodge Dakota, forcing the Dakota into another mailbox, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
A witness followed the Ram to the 2600 block of E. Key Avenue, where it struck another mailbox.
Police located the Ram and its driver, identified as Kevin Redetzke, 44, of Salina, in the 1300 block of W. Magnolia Road in southwestern Salina. Forrester said both left tires were shredded and the back left tire was completely off the Ram.
After police conducted a DUI investigation, Redetzke was arrested on the following requested charges, Forrester said.
●Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
●Three counts of duty to report an accident
●No proof of insurance
●Improper driving on laned roadways
