The driver of a suspected intentional hit-and-run in Lexington Township is in custody following a search warrant served yesterday in Fort Gratiot Township.
Shawn Patrick Woodruff, age 27 of Croswell, was arrested at 5:35 p.m. Tuesday and it currently lodged at the Sanilac County Jail on warrants unrelated to this case. Woodruff already has a case pending before District Court Judge Gregory Ross for driving without a license earlier this year in April.
Deputies were dispatched to the scene at Harrington Road, east of Eighth Road in Lexington Township, around 3:26 a.m. on Monday morning, finding the male victim lying in the ditch with his motorcycle. The victim was transported via Croswell EMS to McLaren Port Huron before being transferred to McLaren Macomb Hospital.
Investigators believe that the crash was intentional, and have recovered the vehicle they suspect was used in the crash.
Before Woodruff’s capture, several posts on social media circulated, falsely claiming that Woodruff was in custody long before the search warrant was served.
