RACINE, Wis. (AP) — A suspected drunken driver was arrested after returning to the scene of a hit-and-run crash and then leading police on a chase in Racine County.

Police say the 18-year-old Caledonia man drove a Jeep into two parked cars Tuesday night, then drove away.

One of the cars was owned by a police officer, who called authorities. Investigators were still on the scene of the hit-and-run, when the man drove by. A witness recognized the man as the hit-and-run driver and police began a pursuit.

The driver of the Jeep and a passenger were arrested after abandoning the vehicle following the chase.

Reading the title, I thought he had the decency to own up to what he did.
No. He was just stupid. So stupid he returned to the scene of the crime!

Criminals being inherently sToOpId makes the police's job so much easier.
