DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt gave a defendant until Aug. 21 to get in touch with the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA).
Lorenzo Brooks is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly chasing someone with a knife on the 2400 block of Washington Place, NE on July 7. Brooks was released from DC Jail on July 8 with a stay away order.
During the Aug. 18 hearing, a PSA officer said that Brooks has not contacted the agency since his release. The agency filed a notice of noncompliance on Aug. 7.
However, defense attorney Seth Shraeger said his client got in touch with the PSA on Aug. 13. Shraeger said Brooks did not understand his requirement to report to the agency on a weekly basis.
Brooks’ next hearing is scheduled for March 10, 2021.
