On Oct. 15, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled a hearing for a domestic violence defendant who said he intends to plead guilty.

The defendant is charged with threats to kidnap or injure a person. He has been held since the charges were filed against him on Sept. 25. The defendant was also on probation for simple assault in a domestic violence case that dates back to 2019 when he was charged.

Defense attorney Adam Harris said his client intends to accept the prosecution’s plea offer.

Judge Judith Smith scheduled the next hearing for Dec. 2.
