November 2009 mein, Washington state ke Pullman-Albion Road par ek ghatna ghatit hui thi jismein 23 varshiya Kristen Grindley ko sadak ke beech behosh avastha mein paaya gaya tha. Unke sharir par gambhir chot thi, jismein khopdi ka fracture, tuti hui naak, kandha aur ankle shamil the. Is ghatna ke baad, unke saathi Richard Pasma par felony hit-and-run ka aarop lagaaya gaya. November 2010 mein, Pasma ne Alford plea enter kiya, jismein unhone apni nirdoshita banaye rakhte hue yeh maana ki prashasan ke paas unhe doshi thehrane ke liye paryapt saboot hain. Iske parinaam swaroop, unhe 9 mahine ki kaaravaas ki saza sunayi gayi.

Is ghatna ke baad, Richard Pasma ke baare mein sarkari roop se koi nai jaankari uplabdh nahi hai. Kuch online sources ke anusaar, ek vyakti jinka naam Richard S. Pasma hai, Carson City, Nevada mein rehte hain. Yeh vyakti 70 varsh ke hain aur healthcare support occupations mein kaam karte hain.

Halaanki, yeh spasht nahi hai ki yeh wahi Richard Pasma hain jo Kristen Grindley ke case mein shamil the, kyunki unki umr aur pesha alag dikhayi dete hain.
