Yuma hit-and-run suspect receives probation after pleading guilty

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A Yuma man will receive probation after he pled guilty for aggravated assault.

Earlier this year, 24-year-old Saul Angulo Hale was accused of hitting a victim and a light pole with his car near Gila and First Street.

Hale initially fled the scene, but turned himself in two days later.

"For the reason stated on the record it is ordered that you are placed under 36 months of probation beginning today's date," said Judge Claudia Gonzalez

Hale pled guilty to count one of aggravated assault after facing three separate charges of hit-and-run and criminal damage.
