Fleeing Scene of an Accident


What is the name of your state? Tennessee

I totaled my car by crashing through a guard rail and into a chain link fence one night around 2 am... i told the cops i had been drinking that night but i'm pretty sure i passed the sobriety test, they didn't give me a DUI either so i'm not sure if they included anything about alcohol in their report. the reason i got fleeing is cuz when the cops showed up my roomates ran and i followed them for about half a block then i stopped when i remembered that my name was all over the car and i surrendered peacefully(noted in the report)

basically what i want to know is... what is the most likely scenario if i go to court and just plead guilty? can my license get suspended? is there a possibility that i can get probation?

also... if i were to get a lawyer and plead not guilty, would it be worth it? or would it just mean 5 less hours of community service or 50 bucks less on the fine but an $800 legal fee?

Get a lawyer. Most lawyers will offer a free consultation so you can sit down with them and see exactly what they will be able to do for you, and then you can make the judgment call on whether or not you should pay for their services.

Fleeing from officers is pretty serious.

Please provide the statute(s) you were cited under.
