Police investigate ATV hit-and-run
SCRANTON - City police are investigating someone they called a "person of interest" after an all-terrain-vehicle hit a child on Church Avenue on Friday and then fled.
The ATV hit 8-year-old Dredyn Pacheco, 1805 Church Ave., on Friday, after he ran into the street to retrieve a basketball. He was treated at Geisinger Community Medical Center and released, spokeswoman Wendy Wilson said Saturday.
Acting Police Chief Carl Graziano had few details about the person of interest but said no one is in custody yet. The driver could face charges of leaving the scene of an accident involving injury and driving the ATV on the road.
