The spree began around 7:40 p.m. when Gwinnett police were called to the 400 block of Buttercup Trail regarding a hit-and-run. A 69-year-old woman was walking her dog when a car hit her in her driveway, police spokeswoman Hideshi Valle said Friday. {snip}

The string of crimes came to end when police were called to a single-vehicle crash along Club Drive and Old Shackelford Road involving a silver Toyota Yaris. After the wreck, Alex removed his pants and fled, Valle said. He was eventually located and identified as the driver responsible in the previous incidents, she said.
