A suspect has been arrested in the Hancock County investigation of leaving the scene of the crash that critically injured a young boy in Wilkinson on June 17.

Aaron M. Magee, 33, of Anderson, was arrested by Hancock County Sheriff’s Office investigators. An arrest warrant was granted for a Level 4 felony of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death or catastrophic injury.

The victim, 13, is still in the hospital. The Hancock County Sheriff's Office says doctors stated his condition is still very critical and will likely affect him for the rest of his life. It is still too early to determine the exact, lasting effects of the injuries since he has shown very little improvement since the crash.

Investigators used video and images from public and private cameras and tips from the public to identify the gold 2008 Saturn Aura belonging to Magee. The vehicle was located in a garage in Anderson. The sheriff's office says it was evident Magee had been hiding the vehicle. The Saturn was seized for processing on June 22, in accordance with a search warrant. Evidence found on the Saturn matches evidence found on the bicycle and at the scene of the crash. Probable cause was filed with the Hancock County Prosecutor’s Office on June 29 and an arrest warrant was granted that afternoon.

The investigation is still ongoing and additional evidence it still being processed. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty. The Hancock County Prosecutor’s Office has the final decision on presenting or altering charges.

Currently, investigators are still following tips to gather additional information and evidence. Anyone with information is asked to call the Hancock County Sheriff’s Office at 317-477-1199 if you have any information about this case.
