The Troy incident happened near Big Beaver and Dequindre roads when a man was turning out of a strip mall and the Sterling Heights hit-and-run driver turned into the same mall. The man who was hit called police. The hit-and-run driver stuck around and was arrested by Sterling Heights police.
One of the Troy officers responding to the crash found 950 grams of suspected marijuana tossed over the fence.
