James William Hammons Jr., who fled the scene of a crash in which his infant child was ejected from the vehicle, was booked into the Polk County Jail just after midnight and is awaiting transport to Montgomery County. Currently, Polk County is holding Hammons for Abandon Endanger Child Criminal Negligence ( a $100,000 bond), Accident Involving Injury (a $50,000 bond) and Driving While Intoxicated with Child Under 15 Years of Age (a $50,000 bond).
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
Scott Engle and Jamie Nash are Montgomery County residents and veteran law enforcement / breaking news reporters, who met covering a law enforcement story and have covered multiple counties, with Scott as a television videographer for multiple local stations and national networks, and Jamie as newspaper / magazine / online reporter.
