On July 30, a defendant entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) for leaving after colliding with another vehicle.

John Dillon, 32, reversed into a vehicle’s front bumper after the victim honked at him for not moving at a green light on the 1900 block of 15th Street, NW, on Oct. 10, 2019. 

The defendant must complete a traffic safety program and not violate the law or be arrested on probable cause during the nine month deferment period.

If he completes the requirements, his charge will be dismissed.

DC Superior Court Judge Judith Smith scheduled Dillon to return to court on April 30, 2021, to evaluate his progress.
