Three people were rushed to the hospital Sunday night after they were hit by a car.

It happened just before 11:30 p.m. near the intersection of Midland Avenue and Winchester Road. Police say a driver, identified as Asiel Iraola-Lovaco, was trying to turn from Winchester onto Midland when he hit three pedestrians who were on the sidewalk.

The three men were hit and thrown. All of the men were taken to UK Hospital.

Police reports identify the men as 35-year-old William Hockaday, 38-year-old Clarence Hockaday and 43-year-old Michael Knipper. Clarence and William are brothers.

Knipper was the most seriously injured and is still in critical condition at UK Hospital.

The Hocakadays were upgraded to fair condition Monday after suffering a broken leg and rib fractures.

Police say the driver fled the scene  but was later found on Leestown Road and taken into custody. Iraola-Lovaco has been charged with DUI, leaving the scene of an accident and three counts of first degree assault.

He pleaded not guilty in court Monday.

When officers ran Iraola-Lovaco’s driver’s license, they found no previous criminal history.

Police in Franklin County are trying to track down a man they say is impersonating a Sheriff’s Deputy and scamming people out of money by threatening to arrest them if they don’t pay him.

The man calls himself Deputy James Marshall and he has been calling people saying that he has a warrant for them, and if they don’t pay him they will be arrested.

“We’ve seen this before, same type of scam,” Sheriff Pat Melton told LEX 18’s Joe Ducey. “No Deputy Sheriff, police officer, or State Trooper will ever call and say, ‘hey you got a warrant, I need you to bring money.’”

Melton told Ducey that there is no Deputy James Marshall.  He also says that these scammers are often targeting the elderly.

“Most of them are on a fixed income and to lose five hundred, or a thousand, or two thousand dollars hurts,” said Melton.

The Sheriff’s Office took to social media to warn people about the scam. On Monday a man lost $2,000 to the fake deputy.

The suspect used a 123 Rewards Card and told the victim to get a recharge card and to give him the card number. By the time the victim realized something wasn’t right, his money was gone.

LEX 18 called the suspect and he answered the phone, but gave no information.

The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office says that they’ve been able to trace withdrawals from the scammer’s account to South Dakota.

Investigators say he calls people throughout the state.

Melton says the scammer is calling from (502) 395- 2268.

Melton says if he calls to tell him to meet you at the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.

“No employee of the Sheriffs office should ever ask for money in lieu of a fine to take care of a warrant or anything else. Thats only done by a judge or a circuit court, they’re the only ones that handle money,” said Melton.

Naseer Parrish, 20, and Warren Harris, 26, face multiple felony charges after investigators tied them to several fraudulent transactions involving items stolen during a car break-in, said Eunicia Baker, Savannah-Chatham police spokeswoman.

On Oct. 10, police responded to an entering auto report on the 300 block of East 51st Street. A wallet and checkbook stored in the vehicle were reported stolen during the incident. The same day, a suspect later identified as Parrish made several unsuccessful attempts at using the victim’s credit card at an area store. Also, Parrish was eventually identified as the suspect who made several purchases with the same stolen credit card on Oct. 20.
