Waupaca man charged with hit-and-run
Darrian R. Rahn, 43, Waupaca, was charged with two counts of hit-and-run involving injury.
On the night of Aug. 30, Waupaca police received a call regarding a possible pedestrian-car accident at the corner of West Fulton Street and Western Avenue. A passerby had seen a young woman lying on the street and another woman who appeared to be helping her.
When police arrived at the scene, nobody was there, and the employees at McDonald's did not know anything about an accident at the intersection.
A short time later, police were called out to Riverside Medical Center regarding two women who had been injured in a hit-and-run.
Police met with a woman in the hospital's lobby who said she was their friend and had been at one of the victim's apartment when they arrived after being hit by a car. They initially believed their injuries were not serious enough for medical attention, but their friend insisted on taking them to the hospital because one of them seemed to have a broken leg and the other had suffered a head injury.
The friend told police that the two women had been brought to the apartment in a small, dark car and that he had informed a neighbor that he was on a monitoring bracelet and needed to get home before his curfew.
Police contacted the Probation and Parole office and learned that Rahn drove a black Chevy Cavalier.
According to the criminal complaint, Rahn told police that the two women had suddenly appeared in front of him on a dark and rainy night. He said he stopped immediately after hitting them and offered to take them to the hospital, but they said they did not want to go, so he took them home.
Rahn was convicted of a sex registry violation and sentenced to 18 months in state prison in October 2009.
