Davidson police Tuesday were searching for a suspect who drove a car into a fire hydrant, damaged it and left the crash scene before authorities could arrive.
The hit-and-run happened Sunday around 2:30 a.m. in front of 230 South Main Street in Davidson police said.
Police estimate the driver caused $10,000 worth of damage to the fire hydrant, which is located next to town hall.
