A police officer from Arnold, Westmoreland County is accused of lying about a hit-and-run involving his patrol vehicle, and even putting a damaged piece of the vehicle in the parking lot in an alleged effort to stage a hit-and-run scene.
A criminal complaint alleges 32-year-old Ryan Clark says the incident happened on June 21, when Officer Clark allegedly called in a hit-and-run involving his patrol vehicle at a Sunoco on Freeport Road.
Police said their investigation, which included checking surveillance video, showed no hit-and-run happened at that store. They said the video showed Clark even opening the passenger’s door to the damaged vehicle, removing a piece of the vehicle and placing it against the rear fender.
