A defendant rejected a plea offer in front of DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Pasichow on June 24.
Warnell Reams, 57, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a stabbing on June 5, 2024, on the 200 block of Vine Street, NW, that left one person injured.
According to court documents, Reams knew the victim for one month before the incident. The victim was stabbed twice in the left arm and once in the left side of their abdomen. The victim received care in an ambulance at the scene of the incident and was transported to a hospital for further treatment. The victim’s injuries were not life threatening.
Prior to the June 24 hearing, the defense filed a motion requesting Judge Pasichow to release the defendant pending trial. The prosecution is still preparing their response.
Parties are set to return to court on July 15.
