Police have charged a man with his fourth OWI after an alleged hit-and-run accident.

Emanuel Cano, 28, address unknown, was charged Thursday with third-offense (or more) OWI.

According to police, Cano was involved in a hit and run accident on Muscatine Avenue. Authorities traced the registration of the vehicle to a Dover Street residence and identified the driver as Cano, police records show.

Cano allegedly had bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred speech, an odor of alcohol, and poor balance. He admitted to drinking, police said.

He was also charged with OWI last month.

Third-offense-or-greater OWI is a Class D felony generally punishable by up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of $9,375.
