NOT CHARGED | HIT AND RUN – State v. Mr. H. (DMC No. 9800) (Phoenix PD investigated): Mr. H. was at a stop when he began to make a right hand turn. A pedestrian started to walk in front of the vehicle and slapped the hood of Mr. H.’s car, and began to cuss at him. Mr. H. drove away, and the pedestrian flagged down an officer claiming hit and run. Through his license plate number, Mr. H.’s mother was contacted and insurance information was obtained. We would not allow the Detective to speak to Mr. H., and due to issues with witness availability in regards to a photo lineup, no charges were ever brought.
