A married couple's poorly timed affection led to a wrecked Honda, a hit-and-run accident and "sustained permanent injuries" to the victimized driver, according to a Polk County lawsuit filed Monday.
Court papers filed on behalf of Garrett Sapp blame Christopher Garton, a manager at a Des Moines auto dealership, for a 2004 collision in the 5400 block of University Avenue in West Des Moines.
According to the lawsuit and West Des Moines police records, Garton and his wife were "engaged in oral sexual relations" on July 25, 2004, when Garton attempted to pull his 2005 Toyota Sequoia into a parking lot.
He ended up turning in front of Sapp's 1998 Honda Accord, triggering the collision.
Court papers say Garton initially agreed to exchange information at a nearby convenience store, but he instead drove through the parking lot and away.
Police Lt. James Barrett said witnesses spotted the dealer license plate from Toyota of Des Moines, where Garton currently is listed as a supervisor. Garton eventually turned himself in.
