Illegal Alien Struck By Hit And Run Driver



Two people have been arrested by Panama City Beach for a hit and run traffic crash on Front Beach Road early this morning.

Jailed as 19 year old Sean Dewitt Nichols and Christopher Todd Schei, also 19.

Panama City Beach Police say Nichols was driving in the area around Sharkeys when he hit a pedestrian and failed to stop. He drove about a mile and abandoned the hit and run car on Park Place in Palmetto Trace.

He then called his friend, Schei, who picked him up and hindered investigating officers.

Both face a number of charges.

The hit and run victim, Freddy Garcia, is in stable condition at a local hospital. Beach police say he is an illegal alien who entered the country three years ago on California.
