People v. Ford

Defendant was convicted of reckless conduct for causing damage to a van owned by narcotics enforcement unit, when his vehicle collided with van in narrow driveway of apartment building where a confidential informant had arranged to buy drugs from Defendant. Evidence was sufficient to establish recklessness, as 2 officers testified that when Defendant saw van approaching his vehicle head on, he accelerated, causing collision. As Enforcement Unit suffered out-of-pocket expenses as a result of Defendant's conduct, it was entitled to restitution.  Remanded for calculation of imposing proper fine, fee, assessment and court cost in written order with statutory authority for each. (CARTER and SCHMIDT, concurring.)
