Well, after all the protests by the friends and family of a 13 year old girl that was hit by a car late at night the investigations is closed. A 13 year old girl running on streets late at night was on drugs and the driver will not be charged.
Putnam County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Sorsaia said in a press release Thursday, Hudson and another teenager ran out into the intersection as the sheriff?s deputy was passing through.
Hudson passed away from her injuries, while the other teenager was uninjured, officials reported.
The release goes on to say that prior to the incident, Hudson and other juveniles had consumed beer and smoked marijuana laced with a substance known as K2.
?It is commonly known in law enforcement circles that when a young person smokes marijuana laced with K2, it can severely impact their behavior, impair their judgement and their physical actions,? the release from the Prosecuting Attorney states. ?K2 is known as a synthetic substance that is commonly used to enhance marijuana?s effects.?
According to the Prosecuting Attorney, West Virginia State Police discovered a video on Hudson?s cell phone taken moments before the crash showing Hudson and at least one other juvenile running around in the intersection.
The deputy involved in the incident gave a statement to law enforcement that he was approaching the intersection of 5th Avenue and 31st Street, when he realized he had a green light and proceeded through the intersection. At that moment, the deputy told investigators they saw two pedestrians running across the road in front of the cruiser and was unable to stop in time, hitting one of the pedestrians.
Maybe the people who wanted justice for the little girl will demand that charges will be brought against her parents or guardians.
So sad a 13 year old girls is out late at night on drugs.
