One of Virginia’s more liberal politician is having a less than merry Christmas.
Richmond City Councilwoman Stephanie Lynch has been hit with two misdemeanors after leaving the scene of an accident.
Richmond’s 8News reports on the councilwoman’s childlike, and illegal, behavior:
A police report obtained by 8News details two cars involved; Lynch’s silver, 2015 Mercedes-Benz sedan and a 1997 Toyota 4-Runner SUV.
The report claims investigators first responded Monday at 11:15 p.m., though Lynch told 8News the crash happened around 10 p.m. Lynch said she did not alert authorities until 11 hours later–after she drove home to West 27th Street following the crash on West 31st Street.
It’s unknown who called the police the night of the incident.
Lynch said she left the scene because she hadn’t been in an accident before and supposedly didn’t know what to do.
Richmond Police said Lynch is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 3.
