Police identify 32-year-old Elbert Kennon Wednesday morning as the man who fled from a hit and run in a semi truck, drove the wrong way on Riverside, then resisted arrest from Tulsa police officers.

Tulsa police have found and arrested the driver of a semi-truck that drove the wrong way on Interstate 44 and struck several cars.
