DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro ordered a bench warrant for a stabbing defendant on July 16 after she missed her hearing and was non-compliant on probation.
Jasmine Armwood, 34, was sentenced on June 8 to one year in prison, all suspended, in favor of one year of probation for assault with significant bodily injury and possession of a prohibited weapon for her involvement in a stabbing that occurred on the 3800 block of Minnesota Avenue, NE on Nov. 29, 2025. The victim sustained a stab wound to her midsection.
If Armwood is not compliant with her probation requirements, Judge Di Toro can require her to serve her prison sentence.
In her probation show cause hearing, Armwood was not present, and a probation officer from the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) noted that she had not reported to or been in contact with probation services.
According to court records, the first notice of Armwood’s non-compliance was filed on July 6.
Prosecutors asked for a bench warrant to be issued for Armwood, andJudge Di Toro agreed.
Parties are expected to reconvene when US Marshals execute the warrant.
