North Charleston police (NCPD) arrested a Summerville man Sunday night after investigators said he caused a crash while driving under the influence and then fled the scene.

Officers responded around 9 p.m. to a crash with injuries at the intersection of Dorchester Road and Marilyn Drive.

When officers arrived, they found the victim standing outside her damaged vehicle with the airbag deployed. Witnesses told police the suspect, identified as Romeigus Maurice Brown, got out of his vehicle and ran toward his girlfriend’s nearby home.

Officers later located Brown at the residence and took him into custody on a charge of Failure to Render Aid and Provide Information. During the investigation, police determined Brown was also driving with a Suspended License, Second Offense.

Authorities said officers detected a strong odor of alcohol coming from Brown. He was transported to Al Cannon Detention Center, where he refused both breath and blood alcohol tests.

Police said Brown later admitted he had been drinking while driving and knew his license was suspended. He was additionally charged with First-Offense DUI.
