Oh good, now my car has been deleted by ForSquirrels.

Yes, I made a slight profit and drove it for about 3 years. It could be much worse and I am staying to stay even keeled about the whole thing. It's just a pain because I have to go car shopping again and I refuse to do the car payment thing. I just have to find something as reliable as that one was that I can pay cash for. It's a huge headache for doing nothing worse than parking my car.

Well, in any case you've pretty well got a resolution. Good luck on the car hunting.

Glad the resolution is as good as it is, and also... it's finally done!

Almost but not quite. Got a subpoena in the mail yesterday for June 8th. It's his trial. Oddly enough, it only lists one charge which is the DUI. Can one of the legal types here help me out on this one? Did they drop all the other charges?

Didn't he drive home after hitting your car? Isn't that leaving the scene of an accident?

The police report has it listed as 3 hit and runs. The subpoena only lists the DUI though. I really hope they didn't drop the other charges. It will make it harder for my insurance company to go after him for the money.

I was finally hoping to post a final resolution to this whole situation because there were some people interested in it. I went to court on June 8th and he asked for a postponement to get a lawyer. The judge gave him one and the new court date was today. So I went to court both times. Today he filed a motion saying he was in Annapolis in circut court because of an assault case on his daughter who is 14. He filed his motion this morning and the judge read it out loud when they called his name. The judge then asked for the DA's position. The DA said she had two officers here and one civilian witness (me, because the other 3 didn't show) and that she was requesting a bench warrant because we all took time out of our day to come to court. The judge said that he knew in advance of his daughters court date and waited to file his motion today. He was not excused from court and issued a bench warrant. So I will have to go back to court again. I will go as many times as necessary. I am not going to be like the others and just not show up.

I asked one of the officers here in a PM if I could get in trouble for posting a link to the Maryland online records which are public and posted his name and was told probably not if the records are public. I decided against that but will tell you that the guys record is 2 pages long and has 36 items. 14 of them are from this situation. Here are his others...The first numbers are the date.

12/07 Driving on a revoked license 3 total charges
12/04 Driving on a revoked license 4 total charges
05/05 Driving on a revoked license 5 total charges
07/06 Driving on a revoked license 3 total charges
07/07 Driving on a revoked license 5 total charges
There are two other charges where the complaint was dismissed.

Currently he is charged with ....

1 x Driving under the influence
1 x Driving while impaired by alcohol
1 x Driving on a revoked license
2 x Driving on a suspended license (each is worded a bit differently)
1 x Driving without required license
6 x Failure to stop after hitting an unattended vehicle
1 x Reckless Driving
1 x Negligent Driving

I know he is currently out on $5,000 bail. I am assuming since they issued a bench warrant, that he just lost that money.

As for me, I was without a car for a month which really sucked. I did end up buying a 97 Sebring JXI Convertible that is in great shape. I will post pics later. I had to add $500 to the insurance money I got, but at least I am still without a car payment.

I was hoping to post a resolution to everything today after going to court twice, but it seems like it is going to keep carrying on for a bit. If people are interested, I can post the final resolution once I find out what finally happens if anyone is still interested. It's been 5 months now and it just keeps on going.

Please do post the final resolution. I hope they arrest the scumbag shortly.

What is it with some people that they manage to leave a trail of destruction wherever they go. Lack of responsibility?

good luck with this, Deceptis! Hope you can claim at least the 500 that you had to pay yourself earlier... and that society will be guarded against him.

Necro bump.

I finally got another summons to go to court over this one. It's for 4/26/10. Over a year later and I am still dealing with the idiot drunk driver who hit my parked car. Last time I went to court, they gave him a failure to appear. I know some of you were interested at the time, so I thought I would keep it updated.
