Jordan Hill case: Crash Details and Charges
Hill died on April 6, 2025, after Rollinson’s pickup allegedly struck him near Gloster. According to family spokesperson Marquell Bridges, who spoke with WLBT‑3, Hill had been riding an ATV in a grassy area “on the side of the road,” away from traffic, when he was hit.
Rollinson allegedly left the scene and later claimed he could not call 911 because he lacked cell service. He was charged with aggravated DUI and felony fleeing without rendering aid, then released on a $41,000 bond.
After about an hour of deliberation, a jury cleared him of both charges.
Family Raises Concerns About Jurors
After the verdict, Hill’s family told WLBT‑3 they believe that a few jurors had prior knowledge of the case and should have been disqualified during jury selection. They said the issue was raised but not addressed, leaving them doubtful about the fairness of the trial.
Jordan Hill Case: Family Says They Will Keep Fighting for Justice
Hill’s sister, Mariah Woodward, told the outlet the family refuses to let the case fade from public attention.
“I still definitely want to get justice,” she said. “So, I feel like we should still post him on platforms and just make him known so they won’t let this die down.”
Hill’s mother, Wanda Brown, said the family remains deep in grief.
“It’s been hard. First Christmas, first Thanksgiving. Everything still seemed like a dream. We broke and we lost. We have a home, but it’s empty. It’s quiet.”
Community Support Grows After Verdict
A GoFundMe created for Hill’s family has seen renewed support since the acquittal. Donations have surpassed $10,000 as community members rally around the family during their ongoing grief.
Hill’s relatives say they will continue seeking justice and keeping Jordan’s story in the public eye.
