Police: Olyphant fugitive hits cars

SCRANTON - A 42-year-old Olyphant man is facing three counts of fleeing the scene of an accident and one charge of driving under the influence after crashing into three cars stopped at a red light Monday evening, police said.

Scranton Lt. Joseph Arbie said Paul Quinn hit the three cars at Mulberry Street and Mifflin Avenue at about 9:15 p.m. Police then learned Mr. Quinn was wanted for a prior DUI and possession of a controlled substance, the lieutenant said.

Mr. Quinn was being held at Lackawanna County Prison pending his arraignment, Lt. Arbie said.

Before he hit the three cars on Mulberry he hit my car on Main right in front of the fire house, while I was stopped to make a turn. He was not only DUI but he also has no insurance. So now I have a damaged car and a hospital bill.
