A Stayton man is facing felony charges after allegedly driving his vehicle into a car occupied by two Lyons residents, then fleeing the scene.
Casey Eugene Trussell, 37, was charged Dec. 5 in Marion County Circuit Court with failure to perform duties of a driver, reckless driving and two counts each of attempted second-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon and recklessly endangering another person.
The alleged incident occurred Nov. 13 in Marion County and no serious injuries were reported. Whether or not the collision was deliberate, and whether or not Trussell knew the alleged victims, was not made clear in court records.
If convicted, Trussell faces up to ten years in prison. He has been released on $10,000 bail and is due back in court Jan. 3, 2022.
