Bench Warrant Outstanding for Armed Carjacking Defendant

Thank you for reading D.C. Witness. Help us continue our mission into 2024.

DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian alerted the parties on Nov. 8 that a bench warrant, issued on Oct. 9, remains outstanding for an armed carjacking defendant.

Peguy Sikadi, is charged with armed carjacking, eleven counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, five counts of robbery while armed, and five counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, for his alleged involvement in an armed carjacking which occurred on May 26, 2024 on the 2000 block of 13th St, NW.

Sikadi failed to appear before Judge Christian on Oct. 21 and Nov. 8 despite his outstanding bench warrant.

Sikadi’s co-defendant, Lamar Stephens, is moving ahead with a jury trial in December despite Sikadi’s absence.

Parties are set to reconvene Nov. 19.
