SCI CO accused of hitting person while drunk driving: ‘Are you stupid?'
SOMERSET COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — A Johnstown man who is a corrections officer for SCI Somerset is facing charges after allegedly hitting a pedestrian and driving away. Kevin Turner, 41, was charged after Pennsylvania State Police were called to an assault in progress in Glades Pike Feb. 1. When troopers arrived, a group of people told them that a man driving a black Dodge Ram had hit the pedestrian, left the scene and parked in a nearby parking lot, according to the criminal complaint. Troopers found the Dodge Ram and noted Turner allegedly sitting in the driver's seat. When asked to get out of the vehicle, he initially refused, according to the affidavit. However, troopers were able to escort Turner out of the truck and ordered him to place his hands behind his back, which he also allegedly refused to do. Troopers noted that Turner began to resist arrest physically and they had to taser him in order to take him into custody. Troopers then spoke with Turner, who they noted had glassy eyes and smelled of an alcoholic beverage, according to the complaint. There was also damage to the Dodge Ram that was consistent with the aforementioned bystanders' statements, troopers noted. Turner was transported to UPMC Somerset where he opted to comply with a blood draw, which noted that his blood alcohol content was 0.20%. The victim was then interviewed by troopers, who said that he was crossing a roadway when he saw headlights approaching him. According to the affidavit, the victim said the next thing he remembered was lying on the roadway. He noted that he looked both ways before crossing and was also wearing an orange Hi-Visibility hat. PSP then interviewed two bystanders who saw the alleged accident. The first person told troopers that she saw the black Dodge Ram hit the victim in the road, who then flew up on top of the hood and fell back onto the road. She alleged that Turner got out of the truck and began yelling at the victim before leaving the scene. The second bystander told troopers that he heard Turner ask the victim 'Are you f****** stupid?' The bystander claimed that his wife attempted to get Turner to calm down, to which he asked 'Who are you b****?' before a verbal argument broke out. Turner allegedly then got back into his truck before pulling into the nearby parking lot that troopers noted finding him in. Turner is now facing a misdemeanor charge of accidents involving death or personal injury, a misdemeanor of recklessly endangering another person, a misdemeanor of resisting arrest and other related charges. He is currently awaiting his preliminary hearing, according to court documents. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
