On Aug. 11, a DC Superior Court judge continued the probation of a defendant who was not being compliant with his probation conditions.
Leon Quarles pleaded guilty to assault with significant bodily injury and a bail violation on March 18, 2019. He was sentenced to 18 months and 90 days in jail. Nearly half of the sentence was suspended. The judge also order that Quarles complete 18 months of probation.
A Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) officer said Quarles violated his curfew numerous times and has not charged his GPS monitor since Aug. 5.
The officer also said the defendant failed to report to mental health services since June 26. According to the officer, the defendant made concerning comments about women to his staff.
Judge Robert Okun ordered the defendant to participate in a sex offender assessment. Judge Sean Staples previously requested this on June 18, but the defendant did not comply.
Quarles’ next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 3 to assess his compliance with the terms of his probation.
