On Aug. 6, a defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing in two cases.
Davonte Brothers is charged with simple assault in a misdemeanor case and assault on a police officer and fleeing a law enforcement officer in a felony case.
Brothers allegedly punched a victim on Sept. 29, 2019, on the 2600 block of Bowen Road, SE. He also allegedly fled during a traffic stop and damaged a police vehicle on June 9 on the 4200 block of 6th Street, SE. Brothers was arrested for both incidents on June 9.
The defendant was released on June 15 for both cases. He is currently being held due to a fugitive case in Maryland, in connection to a fatal shooting on March 21.
The prosecution made a plea offer for the DC cases, but Brothers rejected it earlier this week.
DC Superior Court Judge John Campbell scheduled the defendant’s next hearing for Oct. 21.
