Re: reckless endangerment

Whether or not to charge a crime such as reckless endangerment

lies in the discetion of the police and the district attorney

for the county where the incident occurred. It's possible that the charge

was the result of a direct indictment by a grand jury. You can e-mail me or

call my office for a more detailed response at no charge.
