At 9 a.m. on Jan. 28, Jonathan Doss, 27, of 643 Elmira St., was arrested by city police following an early morning incident in which a 2007 Chrysler Town & Country driven by Doss hit a deer and proceeded to leave the roadway near Lycoming Mall and Generations drives, coming to rest in a ditch near The Eye Center.

During initial questioning, Doss related that he had been walking home from Muncy when he stepped in a mud puddle, causing him to twist his ankle, according to court documents. Doss carried no identification, which he said he had recently lost, and denied knowledge of the vehicle, stating that he did not possess a driver’s license, and did not know Kiersten Hill, the registered owner.

Doss had a strong odor of burnt marijuana, muddy shoes, and mud along the left side of his coat, police allege. There was also mud along the front fenders of the vehicle caused by the tires of the vehicle spinning and throwing up the mud.

During a search of Doss, police discovered a leopard print lanyard with an orange dagger, with a set of keys attached. The set included one vehicle key, which did not specify a make or model. Doss told police the keys belonged to his mother, according to an affidavit.

During a police follow up, Hill stated that she had not gone anywhere overnight, and had woke up in the morning to find her vehicle missing, which she had notified city police of, court documents said.

Hill further identified the lanyard found on Doss as hers, and related that Doss and his brother had been at her house late that night.

Upon further police questioning, after initially continuing to deny being behind the wheel, Doss relented, stating “I don’t know what you want me to do., I was doing what I was told to do. I was told to go get some drinks for the kids, that’s it. I wasn’t expecting to hit no [expletive] deer,” an affidavit said.

At that time, Doss was requested to perform a field sobriety test, but was unable to complete it, due to his leg injury.

Doss had an odor of burnt marijuana, a faint odor of alcohol, and bloodshot, water eyes, police allege.

Lab results were positive for the presence of THC.
