One man is being charged with three different felonies after an incident involving a hit and run.
Daniel Lee Pendergraft, 36, Washburn, is charged with two counts of class B felony assault in the first degree and class C felony endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree. He is currently being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of a $20,000 bond.
