It’s the real-life Lone Ranger!
A suburban cowboy and his trusty steed, Shiny, have been credited with serving to southern New Jersey police determine and arrest an alleged hit-and-run driver.
Italo Lalvay Guaillasaca, 22, allegedly fled the scene after crashing right into a automotive parked on Middleton Avenue in Riverside Township, a suburb of Philadelphia, on the morning of Could 31.
Witnesses who referred to as 911 after listening to a loud crash stated they watched Guaillasaca’s car pace from the scene.
Quickly after Riverside Township cops arrived, the horseback-riding buckaroo PJ rode as much as them on Shiny.
The person on horseback — police solely recognized him as PJ — offered police with an outline of the fleeing Honda Accord together with a partial license plate.
He informed police he witnessed the hit-and-run and giddy-upped after the Honda.
“PJ was able to ride after the vehicle and get close enough to “read part of the plate,” which he then “passed on to police.”
With out PJ and Shiny’s gallant efforts, they could not have solved the case, the division stated in an announcement.
He solely occurred to be using by city to point out off Shiny to some pals.
“We want to thank the witnesses in this case for being observant, coming forward, and making the calls to our officers,” reads the Riverside Township Police assertion. “We’d especially like to thank PJ and his sidekick ‘Shiny’ for their efforts to get us the information that ultimately solved the case.”
Guaillasaca was charged with careless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, driving with out a license and failure to report an accident.
