A: Hard to tell if the 5 tickets for leaving the scene of an accident are 15 years old, or if we have 2 sets of tickets here. If he was suspended for 15 year old ticket, and was involved in an accident, he was probably charged with a crime of driving while suspended, or aggravated unlicensed operation. This is either a misdemeanor or a felony.

If you send a copy of these tickets to an attorney, you may be able to get a free consultation.
