Nextdoor CEO Nirav Tolia plead down a felony hit-and-run charge to a misdemeanor yesterday in court, receiving an immediate sentence of 30 days in county jail.

Yesterday, Nextdoor CEO Nirav Tolia was charged with a felony for allegedly leaving the scene of a hit-and-run that left a female driver injured. Speeding away in a BMW X5 reflects poorly on a startup like Nextdoor, which raised $100 million to build a social network for good neighbors. But for Tolia, this sudden scrutiny could also undo years of rehab on his tarnished personal brand.

Earlier today, CNN included Nextdoor in an article about "Hyperlocal apps [that] help residents fight crime." Later today, NBC Bay Area reports the CEO of one of those apps is now facing serious allegations of criminal negligence, accused of fleeing the scene of a highway accident he caused.

This week when Nextdoor, the social networking app for neighbors—a retrograde cross between a neighborhood watch and a neighborhood billboard—announced that it had raised $60 million, CEO Nirav Tolia made certain the tech press knew his startup didn't actually need those millions.
