Vehicular Charges Dropped Against Washington Man

A Washington man who was accused of hitting a child with his vehicle will not face charges. Kenneth Reed, 37 was accused by witnesses of driving at a high rate of speed and hitting a child in their yard on Sycamore Street in November of last year. Felony charges of aggravated assault and accidents involving death or injury plus three other traffic summary offenses were dismissed when the victim’s parent failed to appear as a witness at the preliminary hearing on Wednesday. Reed was being held in the Washington County Jail unable to post a $20,000 bond.
