TheWashCycle: Driver in video attack pleads guilty but could have charges dismissed: "John W. Diehl, the driver in a much-seen video of a driver intentionally trying to hit a cyclist, formally pleaded guilty in D.C. Superior Court to charges of leaving the scene of an accident and destruction of property. But he will perform community service and attend anger management classes in exchange for having charges in the case dismissed.
Diehl is required to complete 25 hours of community service, undergo anger management counseling, complete a driver safety course and complete drug and alcohol treatment over the next year, according to Machen's office.
If Diehl complies with those conditions, prosecutors have agreed to dismiss the case. But if he fails to live up to his end of the deal, the court will proceed with sentencing. His next hearing is set for April 2, 2014, Machen's office says.
Why drug and alcohol treatment? Was he driving under the influence at the time?
