Three of four sentencing hearings scheduled on June 5 did not occur.
The three sentencing hearings that did not occur were rescheduled for later in June and in August.
Dale Southerland’s sentencing was rescheduled to Aug. 21.
Southerland pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction, possession of an unregistered firearm or unlawful possession of a firearm or destructive device and unlawful possession of ammunition.
Kobie Swint, who now is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 7, pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon.
Defense counsel requested that Swint’s sentencing be rescheduled because the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency had not spoken with the defendant to give a pre-sentencing report.
The sentencing for Ronald Lynch was scheduled to June 12
Lunch is pending sentencing for a violation on his probation for a robbery conviction in 2015.
For the conviction, he was sentenced to four years in prison. The time was suspended and Lynch was only required to serve three years on probation.
Barrington Manners pleaded guilty to assault with the intent to commit robbery. He was sentenced to serve one year and a half in confinement but received credit for time served.
His probation was revoked because of non compliance, and he was incarcerated at DC Jail in February.
A judgment and commitment order was filed for jail time only on June 5. Manners’ probation was reinstated with credit for time served.
