Did they REALLY tell you this? If they did, somebody was playing you. (Or are you a police officer / Internet troll trying to play the overzealous Z fans on this forum?)

1. Where there is no serious bodily injury or death, there is no offense of "hit and run." No such crime.

2. There is no such thing as an "attempted assault." (Ask anyone who has ever been a rookie police officer. "Attempted assault" is the punchline of a practical joke veteran officers like to pull on rookies. Serving a warrant for "attempted assault" is like sending the rookie mechanic on an errand to buy "muffler bearings" or "camouflage paint.")

If they really told you this stuff, they were having a good time at your expense.
