Dearman says the state offered Smith a deal to drop criminal charges, but possibly pay restitution.
“It’ll be up to a judge to decide if there were any overages however whether or not there were any overages it was not a criminal matter. There was never an intent to deceive,” said Dearman.“This case was resolved today in a way to make the defendant pay restitution for his wrongdoing related to filing inflated insurgence claims through his towing business. The decision on whether or both the defendant will continue to be on the towing list lies with MPD.”“Today was finally the day.
It is done. The DA has dropped all charges. While completely overjoyed, the victory is bittersweet. With intent to completely vindicate ourselves and leave nothing to doubt. We have agreed to an accounting meeting to clarify rates that had been charged. Something that could have easily been done from the beginning instead of suffering through this malicious and public persecution initiated by a scorn Assistant Chief.”Download the FOX10 Weather App.
