A Danbury man who reportedly got into a car accident Monday, left his 5-year old child with a bystander and fled the scene, has been arrested. The Newstimes reports that Celso Leonardo Remache-chunir was charged with risk of injury to a child, operating a motor vehicle under the influence, and reckless endangerment, among other crimes.
Police say he appears to have rear-ended a car stopped at a light at the intersection of West and Division streets. Police later found the car, which had open containers of alcohol and fresh blood inside.
The 33-year old was found hiding in the bathroom of a nearby business. He refused to take a breathalyzer test.
The Newtown Road resident was also charged with evading responsibility, following too close, and transporting a child under the age of 8-years-old without a restraint system. He was released on bond for a January 30th court appearance.
