A man accused of a weapons offense pleaded not guilty during a felony arraignment on Dec. 4 before DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro.

Williams Azocar-Salas, 28, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a weapon outside of a place of business for his alleged involvement in a stabbing on April 7 on the 1300 block of Clifton Street, NW. One victim suffered minor cuts from the incident.

Azocar-Salas’ defense attorney, Julie Swaney, entered the not-guilty plea on his behalf with the aid of a Spanish translator.

The next hearing is scheduled for Mar. 14, 2025.
