During the nearly two-hour trial, Womble testified that he had been drinking rum and Coke when he decided to head toward the 2nd Police Precinct about 2 a.m. that Saturday. He said he hoped to get a ride home after reaching the precinct.
While heading north on Pacific Avenue, he tried to turn onto 20th Street and instead struck a southbound car with four people inside. His air bags deployed and a set of golf clubs in the passenger seat smashed the windshield of his Mitsubishi sports car. Womble pulled away and drove off.
Meanwhile, Officer Michael Stark was heading east on 20th Street when he saw smoke pouring from the windows of an approaching Mitsubishi. Its windshield was cracked, he said.
