Anthony Mayo from North Tonawanda Pleads Guilty in Highmark Stadium Hit-and-Run

A North Tonawanda resident admitted in court Monday to striking a pedestrian while intoxicated and fleeing the scene of the crash that happened last December near Highmark Stadium, according to the Erie County District Attorney’s Office.

Anthony Mayo, 31, pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and leaving the scene of an incident without reporting resulting in personal injury.

Prosecutors said the collision occurred around 7:45pm on December 22nd, 2024, when Mayo, while driving drunk, hit a 39-year-old man from Rochester on Abbott Road. Instead of notifying authorities, Mayo left the area.

Police stopped Mayo a short time later as he attempted to drive onto Milestrip Road. He was subsequently arrested. The victim was transported to Erie County Medical Center where he spent several days hospitalized with head and foot injuries.

Mayo is scheduled for sentencing on October 30th and could receive up to 364 days in jail. For now, he remains free on his own recognizance.
