A Sumter County sheriff’s deputy responded to the accident scene at about 6:15 a.m. Sunday on Willington Way. There the deputy found Nathan Matthew Roma of Wildwood sitting on the curb with personnel from Community Watch standing near him.

He was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center on $1,500 bond.
