On March 26th, 2021 at approximately 1:15 pm Bureau officers were dispatched to the first block of W. King St. for a report of a pedestrian that had been struck by a motorcycle. An adult female sustained serious injuries from the crash but thankfully, survived the incident. The motorcycle rider fled from the scene. After the initial response from uniformed Patrol division officers, the investigation was turned over to the Bureau's Auto Crimes Task Force and assigned to Detective Adam Dommel. Using both public and privately owned and operated cameras that produced valuable video evidence, Detective Dommel was able to identify the operator of the motorcycle.  On 21 May 2021 Detective Dommel charged the above subject, Neo Verling, an adult male and Lancaster County resident, with the listed offenses. The Bureau of police appreciates the community effort it took to identify Mr. Verling, as well as the tireless efforts of Detective Dommel and the Auto Crimes Task Force. 

All persons charged with a criminal offense are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
