It’s how the process works. The police file charges and the prosecutor determines if they can prove it. How is this new?
It’s not new- it’s sourced like it’s supposed to be. Go back to START and DO NOT collect $200.00. Thank you.
If it’s a misdemeanor as previously reported, it’s most likely similar to a traffic summons. A date to show up in court is set by the city then the lawyers take it from there.
