Driver who crashed into Ed’s Chicken receives probation

The driver of a car that crashed into Ed’s Chicken and Crabs in Dewey Beach in August was sentenced to two years of probation after pleading guilty to first-offense DUI and criminal mischief.

Michelle Small, 37, of Wyoming, apologized for the accident at her June 2 sentencing.

“I am truly sorry,” she said, fighting back tears. “If I could take it back, I would.”

Besides probation, Small was ordered by Delaware Superior Court Judge E. Scott Bradley to pay a $500 fine and $241,000 in restitution - $65,000 to Ed’s owner Ed Riggin and $176,000 to the Catts family, owners of the building.

One can only hope that the place doesn't get rebuilt. Bad service, bad crabs and no beer allowed or for sale.
