On Sept. 15, a DC Superior Court judge sentenced a defendant in three domestic violence cases.
Lance Freeman, 50, resolved his cases through a global plea deal with the prosecution.
His first case, in which he was charged with simple assault, was dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
In his second case, Freeman pleaded guilty to attempted threats to do bodily harm in exchange for his contempt charge being dropped.
In his third case, Freeman pleaded guilty to destruction of property less than $1,000 in exchange for his contempt charge being dropped.
Judge John McCabe sentenced the defendant to 75 days, all of which were suspended, plus 12 months of probation for the attempted threats charge. He received credit for time served. Judge McCabe also sentenced the defendant to 90 days, all of which were suspended, plus 12 months of probation for destruction of property.
The two sentences will run consecutively, but the probation is concurrent.
Conditions of his probation include alcohol and drug testing, GPS monitoring, a mental health screening and evaluation and a stay away order.
Freeman must also pay $50 to the Crime Victims Compensation Program for each charge.
