  We're still playing catch up since the Corony Bug hit. Here goes.   Felony 22 & 23  plus some Misdemeanor stuff from back in March 2020.
  David Lee Patterson (DOB 10-15-1957) netted a couple felony charges. Many of us were listening to scanner traffic on March 13th when two Big Otter Community Center participants were struck by a vehicle. Patterson is charged with crashes involving death or injury. Penned by Green Shirt RL Wiseman with probable cause found  and the warrant issued by Magistrate Jeff Boggs on March 26, 2020.
  From the criminal complaint and paraphrased:
   Shortly after 9pm, Wiseman was dispatched March 13th on a hit and run complaint.  Two individuals had been struck by a gold in color sedan causing serious  bodily injury.  A mirror from the vehicle was discovered which had black duct tape wrapped around it.  The victims were helicoptered to CAMC.
  On Saturday March 14th, a tip came in on where the vehicle was located.  How did the tip get to be? 
  One of the victim's cell phone had a tracking device and that phone got lodged into the tricking vehicles and got stuck there. That phone also provided the time / date that the vehicle got back home. Making life much easier for Badge work, Yelp there sat the gold Nissan with a broken mirror . Still easier, there was front end damage and the windshield was broke. What else could Perry Mason want for a conviction? Right there in plain view was a hair sample in the broken windshield.
   That gold Nissan belongs to David Patterson but has no insurance, sticker, registration or all that other pesky stuff needed to be legal. Patterson told Wiseman that he didn't know anything about a cell phone.
  Seeing his goose getting cooked, Patterson got into an aggressive stance. Badges don't care for that one bit. Patterson was taken into custody after telling Badge Wiseman to get the F off his property.
  Patterson's girl friend was on scene but could not attest to how the vehicle got damaged nor anything hit and run related.  She did tell the Badge, Patterson had told her, he had hit a deer.
  What Patterson is charged with doing, that's serious stuff , but what there's more!
  The girlfriend started crying and said, she was afraid Patterson would kill her if she said anything more. When asked if she would like a "Hope care worker" to get her away from Patterson, here it comes readers, her response was No.
  As for the cellphone, it was never found. Video surveillance from Go mart revealed nothing.

  I know we've already said, But What There's More... here goes with the second set of charges...
  Green Shirt Wiseman was back at Patterson's home doing follow up stuff when  he discovered a 2012 Honda Foreman 500. That ATV had the ignition switch messed up and replaced with a toggle switch.   A quick NCIC check, sure enough, it was stolen.
  Covering his own butt, Patterson said he had received the Honda from a Goodwin subject that lives in the Hartland area.

  Yelp, David Patterson is looking at some real time behind bars..
