Hit and Run????

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Virginia.

My wife was contacted by a Police Officer who stated that someone witnessed her hitting a parked car and leaving the scene. My wife states she did not feel anything, and after inspecting our car we believe that there is some fraud (either in the whole story, or at least in what was supposedly damaged). We agreed to settle, when the Officer stated he would not file any charges. It appears he does not totally agree that we caused the damage either. However, I guess to investigate he must open a case, and he is saving himself and us from going through that.

My question is this – Instead of writing a release on a separate sheet of paper, can I write on the check a statement saying that we do not admit guilt and that cashing of this check constitutes full and complete settlement?

And if so should this be on the back or front of the check?

Thank you for any advice provided.

Thanks. I thought that was the right place, I just wanted a little confirmation.
