NARRATIVE:
On 01-28-2010 I was dispatched to 602 W. Washington Avenue, the U-Haul store, in reference to ahit and run. Upon my arrival I met with the complainant identified by Wisconsin Driver's License asJohn Handley. Handley told me he stores his food cart, the FIBS cart, in the U-Haul parking lot. On
Case # 2010-25036, PO CHANDA M DOLSEN 3896 Page 2 of4
01-13-2010 Handley observed damage to his cart. The U-Haul store manager retrieved videosurveillance showing the damage occurred from another vehicle unsafely backing a food cart.
The footage was taped on 01-13-2010 at approximately 3:04 AM. I reviewed the video with Handleyand the store manager. The video showed a silver pickUp truck backing the JD's food cart. I couldsee the JD's cart strike the FIBS cart. The video clearly showed the FIBS cart forcefully slidebackwards. After the damage occurred the driver exited the vehicle as if he was checking fordamage.
The driver pulled forward several times, finally parking the JD's cart next to the FIBS cart. Heunhooked the cart and exited the parking lot. He did not leave a note or make any attempt to contactthe staff at U-Haul to report the damage. I retrieved the video footage and still photos. All weresubmitted as evidence.
I observed damage on the front corner of the FIBS cart. Handley told me he called the owner of theJD food cart, James Davis. Handley said Davis was not the driver of the silver pickup, it was his"employee". Davis told Handley he would talk to his employee and get back with him. Davis nevercalled Handley back. This is when Handley contacted the police to file a report.
I gathered Handley's personal information and cart information for my report. Handley advised he hadreceived a verbal estimate of $200.00 to repair the damage. Handley told me he never gave anyonepermission/consent to damage his property and Handley is willing to pursue a criminal complaint. Iprovided him with my business card including the case number and my contact information.
I contacted James Davis via telephone. Davis told me he was not the one that had returned his cartto the U-Haul lot that night. He initially told me it was an employee, then he said it was Jeff Okafo.Davis said after he had been contacted by Handley he called Okafo to question him. Davis saidOkafo admitted to hitting the FIBS cart but Okafo didn't think he caused much damage. Davis saidOkafo agreed to contact Handley to make arrangements to pay for the damage. Davis told me hewas under the impression Okafo contacted Handley until I called him. Davis provided me with a cellphone number for Okafo. I contacted Okafo via telephone. Okafo told me he was doing Davis a favorby taking his cart to the U-Haullot. He admitted he backed the cart and said, "I thought I might havehit the FIBS cart but I am not sure". Okafo then said, "I thought I hit that trailer but I didn't see itmove."
Okafo then became very irritated with me asking him questions. He asked me why Handley didn't callhim. Okafo said he doesn't feel it was his responsibility to report the hit and run, and thought Handleyshould have contacted Okafo. I asked Okafo to provide me with his vehicle information. He told mehe was at work and he didn't have it accessible. Okafo said he would get the vehicle information andcall me back.
I spoke with Okafo two more times. after that initial conversation requesting he provide me with hisvehicle information. He never returned my call or prOVided his vehicle information. Furtherinvestigation showed Okafo's driver's license is revoked. I completed two tracs citations. The firstcitation #N168141-1 for the Hit &Run and the second citation #N168142-2 for Operating AfterRevocation. I went to his address mUltiple times attempting to serve him his citations. I had nosuccess contacting anyone and I was hesitant to leave the citations under his door or send themcertified.
On 02-06-2010 I was assigned to work the Vigil for Life rally in the 700 block of State Street. When Ireported to the area I noticed the Jin's Chicken Food Cart was abandoned with no vendors present.
Case # 2010-25036, PO CHANDA M DOLSEN 3896 Page 3 of 4
Per City of Madison Ordinance 9.13 there is No Storage of Vending Equipment without a VendorPresent. I completed a Municipal Citation #A0317793 and requested a case number be drawn todocument the violation 2010-36124. At this point I still was having trouble contacting Okafo.
On 03-06-2010 while working in my neighborhood I observed the Jin's Chicken Food Cart abandonedin the 700 block of State Street with no vendors present. Per City of Madison Ordinance 9.13 there isNo Storage of Vending Equipment without a Vendor Present. I completed a Municipal Citation#A067065 and requested a case number be drawn to document the violation 2010-59847.
At approximately 11 :00 AM this morning PO R. Hennessey and I went to 910 Magnolia #3 to serveOkafo the four citations. After several minutes of knocking Okafo came to the door. I introducedmyself verbally and explained to him why I was there. I presented him with the four citations; Hit &Run, OAR, and No Storage of Vending Equipment without Vendor Present X2. I pointed out the courtdate, time and the location on all the citations. Okafo didn't have much to say and asked noquestions. Okafo did mumble something under his breath about him getting citations for leaving hiscart abandoned. He then shut his door. NFA/jrl
