CLINTON, Ill. (WCIA) — Officers with the Clinton Police Department responded to Clinton Square Friday night after a woman was hit by a car.

The victim was brought to a local hospital but is expected to be okay.
On Saturday, Clinton Police arrested 28-year-old Damian Multine of Phoenix, AZ for leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury. This is a class four felony. Multine was processed at the Dewitt County Jail and released on a Notice to Appear in court per the Illinois Safe-T Act.
The Clinton Police Department said on Facebook that as part of 'speculation/rumor control' there is no correlation between Multine and the MayDays Carnival/Festival. They added that all suspects are innocent until proven guilty in court.
WCIA reached out to the Clinton Police Department for more information but did not immediately receive a response back
