HIT AND RUN REDUCED to “speeding ticket” – State v. Ms. M. (DMC No. 5885) (Chandler City Court 05-C-2684531): Ms. M. was a juvenile who was driving on a learner’s permit, when a car in front of her stopped abruptly. She rear-ended the car and both drivers got out and looked at the damage. They both agreed to pull into a parking lot, and then Ms. M. fled the scene. We were able to convince the prosecutor that due to Ms. M.’s youth, and the fact that some information may have been exchanged the hit and run should be dismissed in exchange for a speeding ticket. The prosecutor agreed, and Ms. M. only received a ticket with only a small fine.
