During an April 24 hearing, a defendant who assaulted a Metropolitan Police Department officer was denied his motion for release.
Robert Frazier, 38, pleaded guilty on Nov. 25, 2019. He was initially charged with assault of a police officer, assault with a dangerous weapon, fleeing law enforcement, reckless driving, leaving the scene after colliding with an animal, and unlawful possession of a firearm for an incident that occurred in the 300 block of Parkland Place, SE, on Oct. 24, 2019. D.C. Witness could not confirm the charges he pleaded guilty to.
Frazier is being held without bail. He filed for release because of the COVID-19 pandemic on March 17.
Two sentencing hearings were set for Frazier, but one was vacated and another changed into a status hearing. On April 17, Frazier’s defense lawyer filed a motion to continue the sentencing. A sentencing date has not been scheduled as of April 24.
Frazier was identified in a car that was previously used in a carjacking and attempted to flee the scene when confronted by officers.
Frazier has a status hearing set for June 16.
