The accident happened on November 17th at US-41 East at Commerce Drive in Marquette Township.
Eyewitnesses said Claffey took off after her pickup hit a car, pushing it into a second car.
Claffey turned herself in on December 8th.
Tips led police to the suspect vehicle in a barn at an Alger County farm.
Claffey was also arrested on an outstanding arrest warrant for 3rd-degree retail fraud.
The Sheriff’s Department was assisted in this investigation by Michigan State Police.
