Posted On: May 18th, 2015 by Bradley J. Groene

Cincinnati criminal defense attorneys were recently contacted by a man in his 50s arrested and charged with a 1st Degree Misdemeanor for leaving the scene of an accident Our client had been driving and was in a non-collision accident. Our client was disoriented after the non-collision accident and left his vehicle. Responding officers suspected our client was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident and charged our client with 1st degree misdemeanor leaving the scene of an accident.

Our client had previous OVI charges and was facing a maximum of 180 days in jail and up to a $1,000 fine if found guilty of this charge. The officers stated our client was allegedly highly intoxicated in their report yet failed to show up for the multiple court appearances involving our client’s case. Due to the lack of evidence prosecutors had against our client, Cincinnati criminal defense attorneys were able to get the charge of 1st degree misdemeanor leaving the scene of an accident dismissed against our client.
