A DC Superior Court judge placed a defendant on home confinement after he failed to comply with the terms of his probation.
On March 1, 2019, Darnelle Crawford pleaded guilty to carrying a pistol without a license. He was sentenced to 15 months, all of which were suspended, plus six months of probation under the Youth Rehabilitation Act.
A Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) officer said Crawford had 18 dead GPS battery violations, broke curfew and failed to report for drug testing.
Defense attorney Marnitta King said the GPS violations were a result of an issue with her client’s device.
On July 28, he was arrested for unlawful possession of a firearm on the 200 block of W Street, NW.
Judge Erik Christian scheduled Crawford’s next hearing for Oct. 28.
