A defendant pleaded guilty to attempt to carry a pistol without a license outside a home or business and was sentenced to probation.
Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers arrested Michael Huskins on March 12 after finding a gun in his possession on the 200 block of Newcomb Street, SE.
DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson sentenced Huskins on July 20 to 90 days in jail, which was suspended. She also gave him nine months of unsupervised probation and ordered him to pay $50 to the Victims of Violent Crime Compensation Act fund.
“I am responsible for my actions,” Huskins told Judge Dayson. He said he is getting help with his alcohol issues, which he called a “common denominator” of many of the challenges he faces in his life.
