Durham Police Chief Caught in Hit-and-Run | Durham News

Durham’s assistant police chief Raul Garcia got caught in a major mess after sideswiping a car on NC 540 and driving off—classic hit-and-run behavior. Caught by Highway Patrol at his Apex home, he now faces multiple citations including leaving the scene, failing to report the crash, and drifting out of his lane—all while behind the wheel of a city vehicle. Mayor Leonardo Williams confirmed Garcia is on paid administrative leave, calling it standard procedure. With an ongoing investigation, this scandalous incident raises serious questions about accountability within law enforcement—and we’re watching closely for updates.
