Around 2:56 a.m., Jan. 28, Warwick Police were dispatched to McDonald’s at 876 Bald Hill Road for the report of a hit and run motor vehicle crash.

The reporting party drove an orange Kia Forte, which was struck by a grey SUV in the McDonald’s drive-thru.

The driver of the grey SUV fled the scene south on Bald Hill Road after a verbal altercation with the other driver, according to the arrest report.

The caller described the other driver to police and searched the area. Then dispatch advised that the driver had returned to the scene. Warwick Police returned to McDonald’s and identified the driver as Anthony T. Anderson, 27, of 6 West View Drive, Richmond.

Anderson was asked to wait in the vehicle with his keys on the dashboard and the engine turned off. He complied.

The owner of the second vehicle told police that they were stopped, in line waiting for their food, when the other vehicle lightly struck their rear bumper.

“He then informed me that he exited the passenger side of the vehicle to check if there was any damage,” according to the arrest report. “He yelled at Anderson to back up his vehicle so that he could observe the contact mark, however, according to (the other driver), Anderson only reversed approximately 3 inches. This made him very frustrated, so he began verbally confronting Anderson.”

That’s when he fled the scene.

Police noted “no damage” on the rear bumper, but there “appeared to be a minor contact mark in the shape of a license plate.”

Police said they smelled alcohol on Anderson’s breath. His eyes were “moderately bloodshot and glossy and his fine motor skills … lacking,” according to police.
