OAG Sues Drivers Who Owe $340,000+ for 1,000+ in Unpaid Traffic Citations

New Lawsuits Filed Under STEER Act Against Drivers Who Habitually Flout DC Laws & Endanger DC Residents 

WASHINGTON, DC – Continuing his focus on holding dangerous drivers accountable for repeated, illegal conduct on DC streets, Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced four new lawsuits, including three lawsuits against Maryland drivers and one lawsuit against a Virginia driver who have amassed more than 1,000 traffic infractions among them. The vast majority of the citations accumulated by the four defendants were for excessive speeding, and in total, the drivers owe the District more than $340,000 in unpaid fines, penalties, and fees. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) filed these civil suits using authority granted by the DC Council under the Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education, and Responsibility (STEER) Act. The STEER Act enables OAG to hold drivers who flout DC traffic laws accountable by seeking monetary judgments against them even if they do not live in the District. These lawsuits follow five suits OAG filed against dangerous drivers in April, and three suits filed earlier in the year.

"These STEER Act lawsuits are part of our continued commitment to putting an end to drivers speeding through our city, ignoring our laws and putting people’s lives at risk,” said Attorney General Schwalb. "Deaths from traffic crashes have reached historically high levels in recent years, and holding lawless drivers accountable is essential to reversing that trend."

"The drivers being sued by DC Attorney General Schwalb repeatedly put District residents in danger, and I’m grateful his team has used the STEER Act to send such a strong message," said Councilmember Charles Allen, Chair of the Committee on Transportation and the Environment and author of the STEER Act. "At any moment, any of these instances could have turned tragic—a child darting out in the street, a senior in a busy crosswalk, another driver using their right-of-way. The STEER Act brings accountability to dangerous drivers that for too long has been lacking. That’s why tomorrow, you’ll see the Council’s Committee on Transportation and Environment fund the next phases of the STEER Act to prioritize booting and towing cars with recent, repeated, and dangerous driving violations, and require drivers to take a safe driving course before getting their vehicle back.” 

OAG filed the lawsuits announced today against:

  • Ashley Yvette Kibler, a Maryland resident who owes the District $168,168 for 414 traffic infractions, including 360 citations for excessive speeding. Twenty-three of the speeding citations were for driving 30+ miles per hour (MPH) over the speed limit, speeds which constitute aggravated reckless driving.
     

  • Sean Dayoni Hudson, a Virginia driver who owes the District $83,100 for 283 traffic infractions, including 274 for excessive speeding.

  • Andrea Florence Reid, a Maryland driver who owes the District $56,010 for 206 traffic infractions, including 164 for excessive speeding and 21 for running red lights in DC.

  • Terrell Antonio Jenkins, a Maryland driver who owes the District $33,432 for 102 traffic citations, including 75 for excessive speeding.

Lawsuit Against Ashley Yvette Kibler

From January 2019 through August 2024, Kibler racked up 414 citations for traffic infractions across a DC driver’s license, two Maryland license plates, and two Virginia license plates. Three hundred and sixty of Kibler’s citations—over 85%—were for excessive speeding, including 23 citations for driving at speeds of 30 MPH or more over the speed limit, which would qualify as aggravated reckless driving. Sixty-six of her citations were for driving at speeds greater than 21 – 30 MPH over the speed limit, which would constitute reckless driving, 101 were for driving 16 – 20 MPH over the speed limit, and 170 were for driving 11 – 15 MPH over the speed limit. Kibler has also received tickets for running red lights, running stop signs, turning from the wrong lane, operating an uninsured vehicle, having no rear lights, and other infractions. Kibler has failed to pay the District the $168,168 she owes for these dangerous driving violations.

With these lawsuits, the District is seeking to hold the defendants accountable for their serial violations of the District’s traffic safety laws, put a stop to their life-threatening behavior on DC streets, and collect the fines, penalties, and fees owed to the District. 

These cases are being handled by Assistant Attorneys General Alexis Hawkins and Jacob Morse, Assistant Section Chief Kerslyn Featherstone, and Chief Kimberly Johnson of OAG’s Civil Enforcement Section.
