During an April 23 pretrial show cause hearing, a defendant did not appear in court.
On March 1, 25 year-old Olonzie Coney allegedly assaulted a Metropolitan Police Department Officer Odette Lagui with a knife at 100 block of 19th Street, SE.
According to court documents, the MPD was called out to a train station because there was an individual allegedly harassing patrons and drinking alcohol. Officers found Coney in a train seat with a 750ml bottle of Belleruche Rose, an alcohol beverage. Coney allegedly harassed the officers as they asked him to leave the train, pulling a knife on Lagui once they exited the train.
A bench warrant has been issued for Coney.
D.C. Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman released Coney to home confinement on April 1 due to the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic.
