A stabbing defendant accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe on Oct. 21, agreeing to plead guilty on two of five charges.
Izat Petway, 33, was originally charged with robbery while armed, assault with intent to commit robbery while armed, assault with significant bodily injury while armed, GPS tampering, and second-degree theft, for his involvement in a stabbing and attempted bike theft on April 21, on the 1400 block of 9th Street, NW.
According to court documents, Petway saw the victim walking a bike on the sidewalk and struck the individual in the head with a knife. Petway took the bike and ran towards a nearby alley where he left the bicycle and continued to flee.
During the hearing Kevin O’Sullivan, Petway’s attorney, affirmed Petway would be accepting a plea offer which required Petway to plead guilty to assault with significant bodily injury while armed and attempted robbery in exchange for dismissal of all other charges and no argument against concurrent sentences during sentencing.
Parties agreed to reconvene for sentencing on Dec. 20.
