A DC Superior Court judge required a defendant to one year of probation.
Stephen Russell was sentenced in four cases during the July 9 hearing. Three of his cases included domestic violence charges, one case included a misdemeanor charge. Russell pleaded guilty to simple assault and destruction of property less than $1,000.
As part of a plea agreement with the prosecution, his other charges of contempt, possession of a controlled substance and second-degree theft were dropped.
In addition to probation, Judge Maribeth Raffinan sentenced Russell to 90 days, all of which were suspended with credit for time served.
Conditions of his probation include a mental health assessment, alcohol testing and drug testing. Russell must also pay $100 to the Victims of Violent Crimes Act fund and comply with a stay away order.
