Jordon Miller, (Hall County Department of Corrections, Courtey)
GRAND ISLAND — A Grand Island woman who was accused of striking a child on a scooter with her vehicle has pleaded no contest in Hall County District Court.
Jordon Miller, 30, has been charged with failing to stop and render aid – serious accident, a Class 3 felony and tamper with physical evidence, a Class 4 felony.
On Feb. 3, Miller appeared for arraignment, waived her right to a preliminary hearing and pleaded no contest to both charges. A no contest plea is neither an admission nor denial of guilt, but the plea is treated the same as a guilty plea.
A sentencing date has been set for April 16 at 10 a.m.
According to an affidavit submitted in the court records, on Tuesday, June 3, officers with the Grand Island Police Department responded to the report of a personal injury accident on E. 7th St.
A juvenile girl was reported to have been struck by a vehicle while riding her scooter and suffered serious bodily injury. The suspect’s vehicle had left the scene and failed to stop and render aid to the child.
The vehicle was later located by officers parked behind a house, in a field, in between two other vehicles. The vehicle had front end damage matching the color of the child’s scooter.
The owner of the vehicle was identified as Miller and told officers she had parked the vehicle at the residence, left the keys and then drove another vehicle to the store, according to the affidavit.
Miller would be booked into the Hall County Department of Corrections.
