Rasheed Jenkins missed another mental competency hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro on June 5 after refusing transport from Saint Elizabeths Hospital for psychiatric patients to the courthouse.
Jenkins, 28, is charged with armed carjacking and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. The charges stem from an incident on Jan. 31, 2022 on the 5700 block of Eads Street NE, in which prosecutors allege Jenkins carjacked a Kia at gunpoint.
According to court records, the hearing was the third consecutive time since Feb. 27 that Jenkins refused transportation to the courthouse for his mental observation hearing.
To stand trial, Jenkins must understand the charges against him and be able to assist his attorney in his defense.
Jenkins has now missed eight total hearings due to refusing transport in this case, court records indicate.
Parties are scheduled to reconvene on June 17.
