Cindy Jasmin, 31, of the Bronx in New York City, who police have said was a person of interest regarding the investigation of an early Sunday morning hit-and-run that left Swampscott native Erinn Phelan gravely injured, told police Tuesday she was not driving the car.Jasmin and her family met with a lawyer for a scheduled meeting with NYPD detectives at her lawyer’s office Tuesday and she was taken into custody, according to New York Police Detective spokesman Martin Speechley.”She was arrested, but she was not arrested for this crime yet. She was arrested for a previous warrant,” Speechley said. “We are still investigating who was driving that car.”According to published reports in New York, Jasmin told detectives during that meeting that her sister, Frances, was the driver of the green Acura Legend that ran down Phelan and her former Brown University roommate Alma Guerrero.The report states police are skeptical about Jasmin’s claim that she was not driving because she was identified on a surveillance tape at a taxi stand by a man who said she came in and said she was in an accident.Phelan, 22, the daughter of John V. Phelan III and Mary A. Phelan of Banks Road, was struck Sunday while crossing a street around 4:30 a.m. in the Prospect Heights area of Brooklyn. According to police Phelan was with Guerrero when they were both hit by a green Acura Legend.It has been reported that Phelan pushed Guerrero out of the way and took the brunt of the impact.”(Alma) was going to be hit, but her friend pushed her out of the way,” Alma Guerrero’s father, Fidel Guerrero, 52, of Pharr, Texas told the New York Daily News. “Her friend took the worst of it. Her friend pushed her in order to save her.”According to published reports, the vehicle was found near the Atlantic Avenue subway station, which is a few blocks from the accident scene, with a shattered windshield.DNA tests have been performed which may tell investigators who was driving the car that struck Phelan and Guerrero.Jasmin, according to a published report, was sued in a Bronx court after she allegedly drove into a mother from Hastings-on-Hudson.The published report also states that records show that Jasmin’s license was suspended for six months beginning in late 2008 and she was arrested Feb. 13, 2009, for driving with the suspended license just a week before her driving privilege was restored.
