An Oakland man has been charged in connection with a vehicle crash that damaged a building and two parklets in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood, prosecutors said.
The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office announced that Kejwine Kevin Patts, 30, was charged with three counts of hit-and-run driving and one count of reckless driving.
Patts was arraigned June 11 and pleaded not guilty to all charges, prosecutors said.
According to police, officers responded at 1:48 a.m. on May 31 to the 400 block of Castro Street after a vehicle crashed into a building. Investigators determined the sedan had struck two parklets before colliding with a business and coming to a stop.
Police said the driver left the scene before officers arrived. No injuries were reported.
Authorities identified Patts as the suspected driver. Investigators located him June 5 and coordinated his surrender.
Patts was released on his own recognizance and ordered not to drive between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. He was also ordered to complete a driver’s safety course.
His next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 17 for a pretrial conference.
The investigation remains ongoing, authorities said. Anyone with information is asked to call the San Francisco Police Department Tip Line at (415) 575-4444.
