Southampton Town police said the accident was reported in a 911 call from a man at a 7-Eleven on Mill Road "stating he had been struck by a vehicle" which left the scene.
The man was not injured, police said.
Police said the man gave officers a license plate number -- and said officers located Sola-Perez at home. He gave officers a Connecticut state driver's license. Police said it was forged. He was then arrested.
