Inverness man charged with leaving scene of crash
Anthony W. Gosack, 25, 9307 E. Sycamore Pl., Inverness, was arrested by the Citrus
County Sheriff's Office, March 23, on a charge of leaving the scene of a traffic crash with
property damage. His bond was set at $250.
The arrest report stated that a deputy was dispatched to 6415 E. Lowden St., Inv-
erness, just before 8:00 p.m. The owner who had reported damage to his vehicle told the
deputy that he had parked his vehicle on his property, about five feet off the road, around
4:00 p.m., and he'd noticed, around 7:50 p.m., that his vehicle had been struck.
At the crash scene, the officer saw a black pickup truck (that was registered to
Anthony W. Gosack) that had damage and reddish paint to the rear, a mark of dirt showing
that the rear of the truck had been moved about two feet, due to impact, and a trail of radiator
fluid that led down the street to 6617 E. Lowden St. where the left front of the vistim's Dodge
