Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - A hit and run incident in downtown Rochester last weekend has resulted in a felony charge against a Byron teenager.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Olmsted County Court, Rochester police responded to the intersection of Broadway and East Center Street shortly after 9 PM on Sunday and found an adult male laying on the roadway in the left lane of Broadway. The court document says he was transported to St. Marys Hospital, where medical staff informed police that he likely had fractures in both his tibia and fibula of his right leg.

The charging document says investigators reviewed city surveillance camera video recordings, which captured the incident. The videos show a grey Dodge Dart was making a left turn from Center Street to head north on Broadway when the vehicle "visibly hopped" when it collided with the victim, who was on an electric scooter.

The criminal complaint indicates that investigators were able to get the car's license plate number from the video and learned it was registered to 18-year-old Madalyn Francine Steinkamp. It says she was contacted by phone and stated that she had not been in an accident and her vehicle was perfectly fine.

Steinkamp indicated she was at a residence in southeast Rochester. When police arrived, they observed damage to her vehicle that was consistent with hitting an object and the vehicle was missing a piece of weather trim that matched a piece of debris that was found at the scene of the collision.

She Initially Claimed That She Had Earlier Struck an Animal

The officers reported that Steinkamp agreed to give a statement and initially told them the damage was due to an earlier collision with an animal. The criminal complaint says she eventually told investigators she had left her job in downtown Rochester around 9 PM and a person walked very close to her vehicle, but she did not know if she hit them or not.

The court document says, after she was taken into custody, Steinkamp provided officers with another statement and indicated that she "felt something" while driving downtown, but did not think much about it and kept going. She indicated that she thought that she had hit a bump or curb.

Steinkamp was arraigned today in Olmsted County Court on a single count of criminal vehicular operation. She was released without bail and was ordered to return to court in July.
