INDIANAPOLIS—An Indiana woman was charged Thursday in a hit-and-run crash that sent one woman to the hospital and caused minor injuries to a man during a southern Indiana protest over an alleged assault of a black man by a group of white men.
Prosecutors charged Christi Bennett, 66, with two counts of criminal recklessness, both felonies, and two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, one a felony and the other a misdemeanor, court records show. She was charged after being booked into the Monroe County Jail and released on a $500 cash bond, Monroe County Sheriff’s Deputy Barry Grooms said.
