Jerry Miller, a Louisville Republican who will sponsor the bill in 2020. Miller and other key Republican legislators held a news conference Tuesday to announce their support for the plan.

CPD: Hit and Run driver charged NOTE: an earlier version of the headline of this article incorrectly stated that the driver who left the scene was arrested. The headline has been corrected to match Officer Cravens' report. By Officer Adam Cravens The Columbia Police Department responded to a hit and run, three vehicle collision on Jamestown Street on Monday evening, July 22, 2019. Cheyayne Coffey, 25, of Columbia had stopped her 2013 GMC Terrain waiting to turn on Montgomery Street when a teal 1996 Toyota Corolla failed to stop and made contact with a 2008 Ford Fusion operated by Brandon Bair, 18, also of Columbia, who was stopped behind Coffey. The impact sent Bair's vehicle into Coffey's, causing damage to both automobiles. The operator of the Corolla did not stop and fled the scene. The Corolla was later located parked and abandoned at the Jim Blair Center. Contact was made the same evening with Austin Arnold, 19, of Columbia, who was confirmed as the driver at the time of the accident. Arnold was charged with leaving the scene of an accident/failure to render aid. 2019-07-23 06:22:42 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Police and Fire Reports
