May 2012 – 9884-SYA – Hillsborough County
Defendant was charged with Leaving the Scene of An Accident on his way to the airport. Officers made contact with the defendant and issued him a citation. Among other defenses available to defendant, Stephen Higgins argued to the state attorney that there was no contact between defendant’s vehicle and victims, and therefore the state attorney could not proceed on the case. After much negotiation, the charges were dropped.
