The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office last week authorized charges against a police officer and her son in connection with a Dryden Twp. traffic crash after the case was referred from the Lapeer County Prosecutors’ Office per the normal conflict of interest process.
It is alleged that on Sunday, July 2, a traffic crash occurred involving an Amazon driver and a 15-year-old juvenile driver.
The Amazon driver is alleged to have failed to yield to the juvenile driving a GMC Acadia, resulting in the Amazon driver having life-threatening injuries. The 15-year-old juvenile left the scene of the crash.
A neighbor heard the crash and gave the Amazon driver aid.
A little while later, Amanda Szymanski of Dryden, the 45-year-old mother of the juvenile and an off duty Almont Police Officer, arrived at the scene of the crash.
Szymanski allegedly told investigators that she was in the car with her son at the time of the crash.
Szymanski was charged with giving false information to a police officer, a two year high court misdemeanor. The now 16-year-old juvenile was charged with failure to stop at the scene of the accident resulting in serious impairment or death, a five year felony.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office will be handling this case in the 71A Lapeer District Court.
Amanda Szymanski was arraigned in 71A Lapeer District Court where Magistrate Michael C. Delling set a $5,000 personal bond. A Probable Cause Conference is scheduled for Friday, July 19.
