A Merrimack County grand jury indicted the man police say was driving in a hit-and-run incident in Franklin in February.
Kevin Muzzey, 51, of Webster, faces a felony charge of conduct after an accident. Muzzey turned himself in to police in May, months after the incident.
Edward Douglas, 53, of Franklin, was found lying in the road on Central Street after he was hit by a car while attempting to cross about 6 p.m. on Feb. 27. He was taken to Concord Hospital with serious bodily injuries, according to police.
The driver fled the scene, setting off a search by state police for a 2011 Mazda 6, which was seen in security footage taken around the time of the accident. Police determined the make and color of the car after interviews with witnesses.
The car was later found at Muzzey’s Webster home where police executed a search warrant. Police then issued an arrest warrant, and Muzzey turned himself in on May 7.
The grand jury determined that Muzzey “knew or should have known that he was just involved in an accident resulting in personal injury when he struck a pedestrian … and failed to stop.”
A deposition conference is scheduled for Aug. 14 at 8:30 a.m. in Merrimack County Superior Court.
