Earlier this year, Angus Cloud was reportedly being sought by Los Angeles authorities in relation to a hit-and-run incident in the city.

TMZ first reported that Cloud and another male were driving an SUV that rear-ended a Toyota in Marina Del Rey before driving away without stopping.

The publication reports that at least one passenger in the Toyota allegedly suffered injuries to her legs and arms.

Law enforcement sources reportedly told TMZ that “while the Euphoria star is not officially a suspect in the case, his name has been floated for possible involvement,” and they would like to make contact with him.
