Carjacking Defendant Pleads Not Guilty at Arraignment

A carjacking defendant pleaded not guilty to all charges before DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld on Aug. 25. 

Marcus Tucker, 30, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, armed carjacking, three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and robbery while armed for his alleged involvement in a carjacking that occurred at the intersection of Hartford and 30th Street, NE on April 17.

According to court documents, an individual identified as Tucker and another suspect allegedly used a handgun to steal a victim’s car. 

During the hearing, Carrie Weletz, Tucker’s attorney, alerted Judge Hertzfeld of Tucker’s intent to plead not guilty to all charges, and asserted his constitutional rights. 

Parties are scheduled to reconvene on Sept. 2.
