Every time there is a hit-and-run case in the county, it sets off something of a whodunit.
That was the case a couple of weeks back when a teen on a skateboard was run down on an Upper Darby street and the driver fled the scene.
But witnesses indicated that in this case the driver did stop – he just did so a couple of blocks away. Police say witnesses told them the man checked for damage on his vehicle, then got back in and took off – going down a one-way street in the process.
Then the mystery started. Who was behind the wheel?
No one could have imagined the answer.
Police Monday indicated they were filing charges against an assistant district attorney in the hit-run case.

As you might expect, Upper Darby top cop Mike Chitwood had something to say about the incident, which occurred on his turf and which his officers investigated.
Chitwood called it “an ultimate cowardly act. He checked his vehicle but he never checked on the 14-year-old in the streeet. In my opinion, he knew he hit somebody.”
Michael Donohue was a member of the D.A.’s prosecuting team at the time of the accident. He isn’t any longer. Donohue resigned his position a few days after the accident.
Yesterday he turned himself in to face charges.
