A man police say was involved in a hit-and-run at Mejier has turned himself in, the Michigan State Police said in a news release.

Troopers from the Alpena Post were dispatched to Mejier on Dec. 16 for a hit-and-run crash.

Police claim that a man in a red Chevrolet Silverado struck a vehicle in the parking lot before fleeing the scene.

The State Police asked for the public's assistance in identifying the suspect from surveillance footage they obtained.

According to police, the man turned himself in on Friday after seeing his photo on the news.
