OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

Peter Francis Hodge Jr., a former Connecticut police dispatcher, was involved in a series of hit-and-run incidents in San Francisco's Union Square area. He allegedly drove onto sidewalks, striking two pedestrians—a woman and a girl—causing non-life-threatening injuries. Shortly thereafter, he struck a bicyclist, who managed to escape without serious harm. Hours later, police located Hodge near the Dior store on Post Street.
