A hit-and-run accident Wednesday night in Creston resulted in an OWI charge. Authorities say 48-year old Cody Patrick Shay, of Shannon City, was cited for OWI/1st offense, following an investigation into the incident that took place at around 10:50-p.m. in the 500 block of N. Chestnut Street, in Creston. Officials say Shay was driving a 2017 Audi Q5 northbound on Chestnut, when his vehicle struck a legally parked 2011 Ford Focus owned by a Creston man. Shay left the scene but was located a short time later at another location, still in his vehicle. Damage from the incident amounted to $9,000.
