The Salt Lake Police Department is defending itself in the case of the man accused of a string of hit-and-runs in the city and questions about why Ahn Pham wasn’t arrested after the initial hit-and-run last August.

A department spokesman told KSL TV that the case was investigated as an aggravated assault. But, it was determined that there wasn’t enough probable cause to arrest Pham, despite having a license plate number, a victim, and two witness accounts of what happened.

Pham is accused of hitting five more people after this case from August.

Read the damn article.

Read my original comment? My point is “why do of they have arrested him after one hit and run?” As I stated to you before, I missed the part where they said the hit and run was directed at an individual. People should not be locked up for run of the mill hit and runs.
