A DC Superior Court judge agreed July 6 to hold a defendant’s hearing after his 28-day drug treatment program.
Amadu Fomah pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and simple assault on May 8, 2019. He was sentenced to two years of probation on Nov. 8.
Upon confirming Fomah’s continued participation in the drug treatment program during the July 6 hearing, Judge Robert Okun granted another continuance so that he could complete it.
This is the second time Fomah’s hearing has been continued. On June 23, Judge Herrmann granted Fomah a continuance until July 6 so the court could confirm whether or not he remained enrolled in the program. However, she noted the convenient timing of his enrollment.
The court has filed three notices of non compliance since the start of his probation on March 30, April 8 and June 16. A hearing was held on June 23 to address the compliance issues, but Fomah failed to appear.
Fomah is scheduled to return to court on Aug. 24.
