Celebrity Justice
Hit and Run Charges Against Pamela Bach -- Dismissed!

A misdemeanor hit-and-run charge was dismissed today
against David Hasselhoff's ex-wife, actress Pamela Bach.

Bach's attorney, Mark Geragos, said the dismissal stems from a statement made by the car's owner, saying that she did not want to proceed with the case.

Bach had been charged with one count of misdemeanor hit-and-run causing property damage in a Jan. 22 fender-bender in the San Fernando Valley. However, she was finally booked and released by LAPD officers yesterday!

Geragos told City News Service "I think the [other motorist] was paid through insurance." He added that estimates of the damage -- which Geragos described as a "paint transfer" -- ranged from $700 to $1,300.

UPDATE: TMZ spoke exclusively with the victim who says the only payment she has received came in the form of two checks from Geragos's firm which totaled $3,207. The victim also told us, "I'm relieved that this whole ordeal is over, but I'm still waiting for a formal apology." Keep holding your breath.

17. I doubt if it had been you or me involved that the witness would have declined to prosecute - just proves what we already know! It's one law for the celebs and another for everyone else - starstruck witnesses balls it up for everyone else!! I don't care if she's had a hard time she still commited the crime!

18. So basically, the victim waited until Bach went in for her mugshot and fingerprinting, then dropped the case? Sounds to me like she mostly wanted Bach to be humiliated.
