On Aug. 18, a DC Superior Court judge gave a defendant more time to demonstrate compliance with the conditions of his probation..
Kristopher Shrewsbury pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction in March of 2019. He was sentenced to 546 days in jail with all but 366 days suspended plus two years of probation. The conditions of his probation include substance abuse assessments, participation in a parent skills group and maintaining or seeking employment.
Shrewsbury received a notice of noncompliance on July 13.
A Court Services and Supervision Agency (CSOSA) officer said that, even though the defendant previously missed classes and has struggled to comply with his probation conditions, he has recently come into compliance.
Judge Rainey Brandt continued the probation show cause hearing to Oct. 20.
