On January 25, 2023 an officer responded to Woodmere parking lot for a vehicle accident. Prior to arrival the caller stated that a white Honda Civic that was involved in the accident was leaving the scene and was traveling South on Hwy 127. Upon arrival the officer observed a blue Ford that was involved in the accident along with a white front bumper left at the scene that matched a Honda that the caller said that left.

The officer was able to get a tag number for the vehicle that left from a witness in the parking lot and it returned to a 2015 white Honda Civic and address of  Frazier Rd. A deputy went to the address and was able to make contact with Justin Sheppard and he observed a white Honda Civic that was backed in the drive way that was missing the front bumper. The deputy asked Mr. Sheppard about the vehicle and he admitted that he was involved in a accident in a parking lot. Mr. Sheppard said that he left the scene because he was scared and he thought people were chasing him. The deputy transported Mr. Sheppard where the original officer served him with failure to report an accident and leaving the scene of an accident.
