A city man is charged with narcotics possession and leaving the scene of an accident in connection with a one-car crash on Fifth Avenue.

Robert Demery, 61, faces a preliminary hearing Nov. 25 before Magisterial District Judge Eugene F. Riazzi Jr.

According to a criminal complaint, McKeesport police responded early on the morning of Oct. 7 to a report of a one-car crash near the intersection of Fifth Avenue and White Street. Officers arrived to find a Ford SUV had collided with a utility pole, but no driver present, the complaint states.

The inside of the SUV was covered in blood, police said. Officers followed the blood trail to the 500 block of Evans Avenue where they located a man later identified as Demery, according to the complaint.

The man told police he was en route to the emergency room at UPMC McKeesport hospital. Police allege that Demery had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, and said that during a subsequent search, officers discovered he was in possession of a plastic bag of suspected crack cocaine.

Demery was treated at UPMC McKeesport for a head laceration, the complaint states. He is charged by McKeesport police with driving under the influence of alcohol, leaving the scene of an accident, possession of a controlled substance and driving with a suspended license.
