Bellevue police have recommended that the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office charge Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman with felony hit-and-run and vehicular assault in connection with a two-car accident in October.
Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Dan Donohoe said the case was forwarded to his office Monday with the recommendation that the two charges be filed. He said the case is on Senior Deputy Prosecutor Amy Freedheim’s desk and she will need several weeks to review it.
While police can make charging recommendations, under state law the prosecutor’s office determines whether to file charges.
Bellevue police spokesman Seth Tyler said he would be releasing a redacted version of the police report to the media Monday.
