(inquirer.com) — Prospect Park residents may recall the widely discussed roadside incident that led to charges against a woman now placed in a first‑offender program requiring probation, counseling, and community service. Based on Prospect Park Police accounts and court proceedings, the case will be dismissed and her record cleared if she follows the strict conditions and avoids posting about it online.
