Two defendants entered into Deferred Sentencing Agreements with the prosecution on Aug. 14.

Christopher MacFarlane pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for simple assault for punching a man on the 1600 block of 14th Street, NW, on Nov. 9, 2019.

Elijah McCrae pleaded guilty to a felony for carrying a pistol without a license on the 1400 block of Howard Road, SE, on July 24.

As conditions of the agreement, the defendants’ guilty plea will be withdrawn and their case dismissed so long as they do not pick up any new charges within six months.

DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian scheduled a hearing for Feb. 16, 2021, to review the defendants’ compliance.
