Prosecutor Develing notified the court that he had already submitted a letter of resignation to the attorney general at the end of September. Develing also admitted to the hit and run charges but said he felt that he was under attack by some robbers. Prosecutor Leomar told the court that if the suspect Develing had only taken the time to look at the vehicle he slammed into he would have seen that it was a man and woman in the vehicle and not a bunch of gangsters as he presumed.
Develing was involved in the accident on August 28th. He was arrested shortly after the accident and taken to the Philipsburg Police Station where he was kept for more than five hours. The investigating report was sent to Aruba for analyzing before being sent to Curacao where the decision was taken to prosecute Develing. Develing was sent on leave a few days after the accident occurred pending the outcome of the investigation and court case.
