A Novato man accused of plowing his car into a group of bicyclists last month says he’s not guilty of the crime. Twenty-one-year-old Aaron Paff allegedly drove his Dodge Ram truck into four cyclists who were riding along Point Reyes-Petaluma Road in unincorporated Marin County on October 7th before fleeing the scene. Witness accounts of the incident led police to Paff and investigators located the damaged truck in his driveway. He pleaded not guilty Wednesday to four felony counts of hit-and-run causing injury or death, though all four injured cyclists survived.
