A woman was arrested Monday in connection with a hit-and-run reported to have occurred at 6:43 p.m. March 27 in the Charleston Wal-Mart parking lot, according to a Charleston Police Department press release.
After seeking help from the public in identifying the suspect, Shamika Austin, 21, of Charleston, was arrested on charges of a hit-and-run, driving while her license was suspended and operating a motor vehicle with a suspended registration in connection with the incident.
The CPD shared a video April 4 on its Facebook page in which a silver Chevrolet Malibu struck a vehicle as it was pulling into a parking spot.
The driver then left and parked in a different parking place after striking the vehicle, according to the press release.
