A hit-and-run accident at the Ellis County Emergency Services building last week led to the arrest of two men.

In the early morning hours Friday, a pickup traveling on 22nd street left the roadway and, according to Hays Police Assistant Chief Bryan Dawson, crashed into four vehicles parked in the Emergency Services parking lot. Dawson said two people in the pickup fled the scene following the accident but were later located and arrested.

Julian Cigarroa, 18, and Deyton M. Davis, 20, both of Hays, were arrested in connection with the accident.

According to the Hays Police Department, Cigarroa was arrested Friday morning for interference with a law enforcement and criminal deprivation of property. Davis was arrested Friday afternoon for failure to report an accident with an unattended vehicle.

EMS Director Kerry McCue said the vehicles that sustained the damage were employees’ vehicles and not owned by the county.

Dawson also said the individuals did not own the pickup and they did not have permission to use the vehicle.
