OAG filed today’s lawsuits against:
Andre E. Bowman, who owes the District $36,986 for 135 traffic infractions, including 94 for speeding.
Earl D. Curtis, who owes the District $27,882 for 115 traffic infractions, including 52 for speeding.
Leon L. Carter, who owes the District $30,666 for 84 traffic infractions, including 80 for speeding.
