Driver defends claim after hit-and-run during shoplifting chase
Richard Kennon, 28, says police misrepresented his actions after striking suspect Richard Ellis, 38, as officers pursued thieves at Staples. Kennon, released from jail after a Tuesday incident on Taney Avenue, contends he did not intend to help police and that police statements are inaccurate. Police cited Kennon for first and second degree assault and reckless driving, noting he had a suspended license tied to unpaid tickets. The case continues as authorities review the events and Kennon maintains he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
