Jalen Arrested for Scooter Accident

How do you know that’s not part of what he’s charged with?

Obviously this isn’t like running into your friend with a bicycle and going home because that’s not a misdemeanor. Unless it’s intentional.

Maybe the court sees it your way and throws it out but that would be very surprising.

Edit. It seems you’re under the impression that someone or something needs to be damaged. I’m not certain that’s the case. It sounds like he didn’t bother to see if anyone or anything else was injured but clearly i wasn’t there.

I think the fact he left the scooter in the middle of the road is what led to the charge. he dumped the scooter, created a dangerous situation, and then left. Sounds like evading responsibility to me.

It said debris was in the road.

The AP article reported that he ran into a friend. They all departed together.

Who could have been injured?

i don’t know why i bother.

If there was just small debris, maybe a piece hit a pedestrian. He wouldn’t know if immediately flees the scene.

It was reported as “witnesses removed large debris” from the road.

Nothing is large on a scooter. It’s likely they removed it. But you know what, there’s no point discussing it with you because you “know” what he “wasn’t” arrested for without apparently knowing the law.

The police were called, responded, and saw enough evidence to track them down and issue him a summons, he’s lucky he wasn’t charged with more after admitting he was racing.

You're the one one getting testy.

Jeez. Calm down. You're also the one speculating about all sorts of things (injuries to others).

The kid left with the friend he ran into.

Goofing around is fine. Running from the scene of the accident is not. It's on the edge of serious. He turned an accident into a crime. Furthermore, did he think they would not track him down? He left his ride. I'm sure running was a quick decision. But it shows bad instincts.

Serious? A minor accident between 2 friends - no one hurt. Move on.

It’s amazing how far ahead of the CT media I was on this one.

You are an amazing man Chief (you're a man, right?). Truly amazing. Everything you do is amazing. It's amazing the UConn hoops program can survive without your assistance, much less the fan base. Keep up your amazing work Chief, we're all amazed.

You need an introduction to D1 basketball. How many games are you sitting the whole UNC team?

D1 basketball needs an introduction to reality. You do not run from the scene of an accident.

Unless your drunk or high.

You are probably right and i know we have a few lawyers on the board than can corroborate. I suspect the consequences for driving while drunk/high are worse than fleeing the scene.

I expect Jalen to come off the bench on Tuesday barring any other kind of fall out from this incident. If he were to be suspended for another game, I would be shocked. This whole thing is just plain stupid, nothing criminal about it. Time to move on.
