DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur issued a bench warrant for a stabbing defendant on Feb. 28 after failing to appear in court.
Tyra Redad, 34, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in the stabbing of a victim on the 800 block of 7th Street, NW, on Dec. 1, 2024.
During a previous hearing, Redad had already been warned about the consequences of failing to appear in person due to transportation issues.
Chantal Jean-Baptiste, Redad’s defense attorney, had no information regarding her absence.
Consequently, Judge Arthur issued a bench warrant.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene when Redad is in custody.
