Hells Angel on Probation Charged With Assault

Hells Angel assaultA night at a sports bar in Oceanside, California turned ugly and when it was over a man had been injured in a hit and run accident that later was found to possibly be much more than that. The driver of the vehicle was eventually arrested by police, who were led to his home by a GPS device that the defendant is required to have due to his being on probation. The accused, James Medvec, has ties to the Hells Angels and he had argued with a small group of people at the bar earlier that night.

The man hit was the father- in- law of a woman who Medvec allegedly said inappropriate things to. He was quoted by others at the scene to say he would hit the woman, her husband, and her father-in-law when he saw them outside as everyone was leaving. Then a car appeared and hit the elder gentleman and sped off. He has suffered a collapsed lung and some broken bones.

The original complaint was set to ask for an attempted murder charge but that was later taken out. Medvec is still facing charges of assault and leaving the scene of an accident. The seriousness of the charges even without the attempted murder complaint, combined with the defendant’s record, will make this a hard case for his defense counsel. A person who loses control of their temper can find themselves in serious problems. Maybe not to this extent- but it can happen.

If you or a family member is arrested for assault or have a vehicular based offense filed against you a California defense attorney should be contacted immediately. The case above shows that the more serious charge was dropped possibly due to his attorney’s knowledge of California statutes in such cases.
