Springfield woman faces felony charges in skateboarder hit-and-run

Yahoo10-04-2025

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A woman from Springfield has been charged after allegedly hitting a skateboarder and leaving the scene in 2024.
According to a criminal complaint filed in court on Thursday, April 10, Tammy Lee Spriggs, born 1988, faces felony charges of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in physical injury and driving while intoxicated resulting in physical injury.
Court documents said the incident occurred at Patton and Walnut Street on May 4, 2024, when Spriggs struck a skateboarding pedestrian and fled eastbound on Pershing from S. Campbell.
Officers searched the area and located Spriggs in a parking lot. She was detained by officers and appeared to have 'bloodshot/glassy eyes and a faint odor of marijuana emanating from her breath,' the probable cause statement said.
On scene, Spriggs told officers she had consumed one wine cooler and 'smoked two blunts,' the statement said. During field sobriety tests, she blew a blood alcohol content of .076%.
Officers who had observed the crash while on foot patrol in the downtown district said Spriggs' white 2015 Chevy Spark was traveling at a high rate of speed before ultimately hitting the victim with her vehicle at the crosswalk of Patton and Walnut Street, according to the statement.
The victim told officers his foot was ran over and he had skin abrasions to his right arm and elbow area, the statement said.
On March 10, 2025, an officer received Missouri State Highway Patrol lab results from Spriggs' blood sample that showed a blood alcohol content level of .083%, while drug results are still pending from the blood sample.
Spriggs is due in court in May.
