A defendant could not appear for her hearing June 17 due to technical difficulties and understaffing at the DC Jail.

Dwanna Cobbs is charged with robbery, simple assault, destruction of property less than $1,000, unlawful entry, second-degree theft, possession of an open container of alcohol and a bail violation.

According to court documents, Cobbs felony charge of robbery occurred after she was barred from a McDonalds on the 1200 block of New York Avenue, NW. Cobbs allegedly stole cash from a person who was in line at the McDonalds. She also allegedly threatened a police officer.

Another hearing has been scheduled for June 24.
