A carjacking defendant failed to appear before the court for a felony arraignment with DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro which was scheduled for Aug. 26.
Rasheed Jenkins, 26, is charged with armed carjacking and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in an incident that took place on the 5700 block of Eads Street, NE on Jan. 31, 2022.
A US Marshal stated that Jenkins refused transport from the jail, once again citing medical reasons. According to court documents, he has already been absent for medical reasons three times, and was sent back to the DC Jail once for non-compliance.
Parties are slated to reconvene Aug. 29.
