Medal of Honor recipient retired Marine Corporal Kyle Carpenter, was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident when he struck a pedestrian in a crosswalk in Columbia, South Carolina earlier last month, according to Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Authorities said Carpenter, 26, pulled over and turned on his hazard lights, but never got out of his vehicle. As the 18-year-old pedestrian walked to the side of the road, Carpenter left.<\/p>\n

The man suffered abrasions and a leg injury and was treated at the scene by EMS, WLTX reported.<\/p>\n

There was no evidence Carpenter or the victim was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the incident, authorities said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carpenter earned the Medal of Honor when he jumped on a grenade that was tossed onto a roof that him and his partner, Corporal Nicholas Eufrazio were occupying, Carpenter’s actions saved the life of Eufrazio and resulted in countless operations to save Carpenter from his injuries. Carpenter turned himself into Columbia police and he’s cooperating with the investigation.<\/p>\n

Fellow Marine and Medal of Honor recipient, Dakota Myer wrote last night on Facebook;<\/p>\n

Sending thoughts and prayers to my brother Kyle Carpenter today. Kyle is a man of the upmost [sic] character and man that I look up to. Instead of jumping to conclusions right now, we need to show this man our love and support.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
