What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
I'm in a bit of a predicament. I was involved in a hit and run about 2 weeks ago in a city owned parking lot. I was pulling into the spot and accidentally nudged the rear, driver side, leaving a few scratches and a small dent. I was stupid enough to leave the scene because I panicked and didn't know what to do since this was the first time I've done anything like this. Now, I've been cited with "failure to stop after an accident" and am facing a court appearance next Monday.
I've been stressing about this ever since I received the call from the officer on Saturday and would appreciate some information. I was hoping that you could tell me exactly what I should expect in terms of a fine or anything (I've heard that jail time is possible, but not probable in my situation).
A little bit of background information about me is that I have not had a ticket since I was cited for speeding about a year and a half ago, and have never had any criminal matters. If you could respond to this ASAP, I'd greatly appreciate it. I just am so worried about all of this and would like to know what I might be in for. Thank you for your help!
