District Attorney John Hummel charged Wright with harassment but dropped the charge in February when Hummel announced Wright had completed a program which involved community service.
Prosecutors say Wright was off-duty when the crash occurred Dec. 24 outside a Bend Fred Meyer.
When the drivers left their vehicles to assess damage, Wright allegedly caused bruising by aggressively grabbing the 67-year-old woman’s arm.
