Stabbing Defendant Refuses to Attend Court

A stabbing suspect refused transport from the DC Jail to the courthouse for a hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur on Sept. 23.

Darryen Kenney, 24, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon due to his alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing on the 3400 block of 18th Street, SE, on Aug. 23. One person was injured in the incident.

During the hearing, defense attorney Sharon Weathers waived Kenney’s appearance in court, telling the court Kenney was being held in custody for another felony matter, but had refused to come to the courthouse from jail to be present for the hearing.

Parties are slated to reconvene on Oct. 6.
