Baker County public safety log: two cited in hit-and-run cases

Two people were cited and released Feb. 12 in Baker County on hit-and-run property charges, the Baker County Sheriff’s Office public safety log shows: Faith Aries Hood, 29, of Richland, was cited on a Baker County Circuit Court warrant at 4:46 p.m., and Corey Edward Berger, 63, of Durkee, was cited on a Baker County Justice Court warrant at 4:23 p.m. at Main Street and Washington Avenue.

“HIT AND RUN, PROPERTY (Baker County Circuit Court warrant): Faith Aries Hood, 29, Richland, 4:46 p.m. Feb. 12; cited and released.”

“HIT AND RUN, PROPERTY (Baker County Justice Court warrant): Corey Edward Berger, 63, Durkee, 4:23 p.m. Feb. 12 at Main Street and Washington Avenue; cited and released.”

Both log entries list the charge as hit and run - property and show differing warrant types: Hood on a Baker County Circuit Court warrant and Berger on a Baker County Justice Court warrant. The public safety log records the times and the cited-and-released disposition for each person but does not include arrest booking details or bond information.

The sheriff’s office entries provide no description of vehicles, no account of the damaged property, and no names of alleged victims, nor do they include police report numbers or court docket numbers. The log also does not indicate whether the listed times represent time of the alleged incidents, time of citation, or time the entries were recorded by dispatch or deputies.

County records show a Feb. 13 press-log PDF exists in the Baker County press-log index, and the sheriff’s office log entries appear in the county public safety listing for that period. The public log entry for Berger is the only one that supplies a street-level location, Main Street and Washington Avenue; Hood’s entry includes time, residence, age and warrant type but no street location.

For readers tracking these cases, the current public record in the sheriff’s office log limits what can be independently confirmed: names, ages, residences, charge headings, warrant types, the times shown for Feb. 12, and the cited-and-released dispositions. Additional details such as incident narratives, vehicle descriptions, victim contact, and scheduled court appearances were not included in the public safety log and would require review of sheriff’s office incident reports or court warrant documents to develop a fuller account.
