Charges of Leaving the Scene With Property Damage do Not Issue After Clerk Magistrate Hearing
In September of this year police responded to a car accident involving our client. The caller stated that our client left a note admitting to hitting a parked car and causing it significant damage. The police then called our client with the number he left on the note. He admitted to being at a post funeral event and to drinking. He further admitted to falling asleep behind the wheel of the car. The police summonsed him for a clerk magistrate hearing seeking a complaint for leaving the scene of an accident with property damage, G.L. c. 90 section 24(2)(a 1/2) and negligent operation also under G.L. c. 90 section 24(2)(a). Our office represented the man at that proceeding. We succeeded in convincing the magistrate not to issue the complaint.
