Daniel Dinsmore, 42, faces a misdemeanor charge of a moving violation causing death. The charge is punishable by up to a year in prison and up to a $2,000 fine. Dinsmore is charged with hitting and killing 19-year-old Nadia Ziegler of East Bay Township while she was jogging on River Road this summer.
