On Aug. 3, DC Superior Court Judge John Campbell continued a hearing to Aug. 18 so the defendant could have time to consider a plea offer. 

Dionte Monk, 26, is charged with robbery for snatching a phone from a man on the 1900 block of 8th Street, NW on June 4. The defendant allegedly fled the scene, but was ultimately apprehended by a Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer. 

Defense attorney Lee Smith requested the additional time so his client could review all evidence before making a decision.
