Mr. Baker's vehicle was estimated to be damaged about $400. The young man failed to stop and identify himself. The result was that Weiss was arrested and charged with two offenses: failure to stop at the scene of an accident and failure to identify himself. Before Justice W. C. Klein he entered a plea of guilty to both charges and was committed to the county jail. Later he furnished bail to appear in court. Both charges are misdemeanors.
