Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas was charged Thursday in California with reckless driving, hit and run and driving on a suspended license due to a previous DUI, according to Butte County Superior Court records.
The three misdemeanors stem from an accident June 15. The initial report from the California Highway Patrol stated “alcohol impairment is believed to be a factor in the collision” but Butte County district attorney Mike Ramsey told The Post that no sobriety test was performed.
Though sources within the California justice system say the omission of a test to provide to the DA’s office with results is rare, there are circumstances where it applies. Ramsey said police did not catch up with Rosas until three hours after the accident. He fled the scene by foot, according to the report filed by CHP.
“They could determine alcohol on his breath and it was determined he had been drinking,” Ramsey said, “but highway patrol felt that after three hours they could not determine what his alcohol level was some three hours before, or whether he had been drinking in the meantime. They chose not to do an alcohol test.”
Rosas’ initial court date is Sept. 4, when the Giants will be practicing for their Sept. 14 season opener, but he does not need to be present and may appear through his attorney, Ramsey said.
