A defendant who was arrested twice while on probation had his show cause hearing continued to Aug. 17.
The defendant pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and contempt in 2017. He was sentenced to 60 months of incarceration, 30 of which were suspended, plus a total of five years of supervised probation.
The defendant was arrested on July 20 and charged with simple assault in a domestic violence case.
A hearing was scheduled for Aug. 3 to discuss what should happen to his probation. However, the defendant was arrested again on Aug. 1 and charged with simple assault. Both arrests involved the same victim.
The defendant is now being held at the DC Jail.
Neither the defendant nor Thompson were present for the Aug. 3 hearing.
Judge Gerald Fisher suggested that the date would allow the case’s judge, Judge Ronna Beck, to continue the hearing again in order to hold a hearing for all three cases at the same time.
