After the incident on New Year’s Day, Durray Primus appeared at the Richard Callwood Command Traffic Investigation Bureau to provide a statement. Police then positively identified him as the operator of a red Nissan Juke that was caught on camera striking a pedestrian during the hit-and-run incident.
According to court documents, further investigation revealed that at the time of the collision, Primus did not have a valid driver’s license. The one he had when he was arrested expired in 2022, and a block placed by the Department of Justice meant he was unable to renew it, police say.
