Wilmington Police are searching for 22-year-old Courtnay Lawrence, who they allege was the driver in Wednesday's hit and run on Rutledge Drive.

WILMINGTON – Authorities have identified the woman suspected of running down a pedestrian and fleeing the scene on Wednesday.

On Thursday, Wilmington Police announced Crimestoppers was offering a $5,000 reward for information on the driver of the 2016 Hyundai Elantra who purposefully struck a woman on Rutledge Drive on Wednesday. Since the reward announcement and video of incident was released, multiple tips received by WPD identified the woman as 22-year-old Courtnay Danielle Lawrence.

The male pedestrian in the video also fled the scene and has been linked romantically with Lawrence. The victim was struck by Lawrence’s car in the right hip, sending her airborne several feet before landing on her left side. The victim suffered multiple injuries to her head, shoulder, hips and knees.

Authorities linked Lawrence to the hit and run with a photo she posted to social media immediately after the incident. In the photo, she can be seen posing with the damaged car.

Police obtained warrants for Lawrence for the charges of assault with a deadly weapon, hit and run failure to give information/aid to personal injury, and driving without a license.

Anyone with information on Lawrence’s whereabouts is asked to contact WPD via 911, at 910-343-3609 or anonymously submit a tip via Text-A-Tip. Send “Tip708” and the information to 274637 (CRIMES).
