Jason Brown, 40, is accused of striking two people with his vehicle late Friday night in an alley near Broadway and Ellsworth Avenue.

It’s unclear whether Brown denied the allegations in speaking with the officer.

Brown faces a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident as well as two careless driving charges.
