On Oct. 20, a defendant accused of hitting a victim with her car rejected a plea offer from the prosecution.
Taketa Tyler is charged with two felonies for aggravated assault knowingly and assault with a dangerous weapon. She is accused of hitting a woman with her car and beating her up on July 7 on the 4600 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SW.
On July 24, the 40-year-old was released into the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP) with GPS monitoring and a stay away order from the victim, according to DC Courts. Tyler’s pretrial release conditions were stepped down from HISP to reporting to the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) on Oct. 19.
After Tyler rejected the pre-indictment plea offer, DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian continued the felony status conference to Feb. 19 to give parties time to discuss the case.
