A Gainesville woman was arrested this week in connection with a hit-and-run accident that injured a 74-year-old pedestrian on a downtown street.

Stephanie Brophy, 28, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident with injury and failing to yield to a pedestrian on Thursday, less than a week after the March 4 incident on Spring and Main streets.

Police reports describe how Janis M. Wilson, accompanied by witnesses, flagged down officers traveling the square around 12:52 p.m.

They said Wilson of Gainesville had been struck on the side of her body and the driver had left. She received minor injuries and went to the hospital with a friend, officers said.

Witnesses went on to tell officers that the woman had the "walk" light as she moved across Spring Street and the driver of a white Kia was turning left onto Spring Street from Main when it struck the woman. The driver stopped briefly before leaving the scene, witnesses told police.

Officers, who were also given the vehicle's tag information, tried to make contact with Brophy a couple of times before the woman contacted Gainesville Police this week.

"She stated that she did not know that she actually hit the woman and would've stopped if she did," the officer said in his report.

Wilson told police she wanted the case to proceed, the report said, and an arrest warrant was signed by a magistrate court judge.

Brophy turned herself into Gainesville Police custody on Thursday, police said.
