NH man blames infant son for hit-and-run accident

[June 13, 2009]  PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (AP) -- Police in Portsmouth, N.H., said a man has been charged with lying about his involved in a hit-and-run accident by telling them his son was driving the vehicle.

Problem is, the man's son is an infant. A police officer questioned the man about who "normally" drives the car and was told by the man that his 19-year-old son drives the vehicle, but wasn't home, Foster's Daily Democrat reported. The man told police he would have his son contact them. A police office said in an affidavit as he was leaving the house, he "happened upon one of the neighbors" and asked if they had seen the man's son driving the vehicle recently. The officer wrote that the subject laughed and informed him that the man's son is still an infant. --- Information from: Foster's Daily Democrat, http://www.fosters.com [Associated Press] Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
