A Wilson County general sessions court judge has been cited for allegedly backing his truck into a woman's vehicle at the criminal justice center parking lot without reporting the collision or leaving information.

Haywood Barry, 80, has been issued state citations for failure to give immediate notice, failure to give information, and leaving the scene of an accident, according to the Lebanon Police Department.

On Thursday, the woman whose vehicle was allegedly hit by Barry's truck reported damage to her vehicle that she suspected occurred on Monday while she was in court at the county's judicial building located at 115 E. High Street, Lebanon, according to police.

The woman stated after she went to court, she stopped for gas in Nashville, and noticed a crack on her rear bumper. She stated she wasn't able to immediately contact police because of work.

The incident was investigated when it was reported and video surveillance revealed a pickup truck backing into a Moore’s sedan on Monday, police said. Barry, who was identified as the driver of the truck, then pulls away and parks at a farther spot within the parking lot, according to police.

Barry allegedly confirmed the incident to police. The judge is scheduled to appear in court on June 26.
