Jeff Tsarnas' preliminary hearing continued again due to no courtroom availability


Preliminary for Jeff Tsarnas' hit and run case was continued last time because no courtroom was available. It was continued again to August 14 for the same reason.

Mr. Neal Sanders is Tsarnas' attorney.  Mr.Patrik Griego represents the victim, Marie Kelley.

At a January 2019 court hearing, Mr. Griego said it was unknown whether Kelley would be able to walk again or the condition was permanent. Tsarnas ran over the victim's ankle.

At that same court hearing, more details were given from police reports and witnesses.

Witnesses said Tsarnas had been doing meth and drinking alcohol on November 27, 2018 the day of the hit and run. Tsarnas did not turn himself in until later. Tsarnas has a misdemeanor conviction for marijuana from 2017. According to  witnesses, Tsarnas was driving 60 mph. Tsarnas fled the scene after hitting Kelly. Tsarnas told police he thought he had hit an animal and not a person. The incident occurred in Fernbridge in November 2018.
