A carjacking defendant’s preliminary hearing was delayed on Oct. 10, as he requested a drug evaluation and treatment before DC Superior Court Judge Heide Herrmann.
Tony White, 53, is charged with unarmed carjacking, simple assault, and leaving after colliding with property damage, for his alleged involvement in a carjacking on Sept. 20 on the 2300 block of 18th Street, NE.
According to court documents, White allegedly stole a vehicle and caused a collision. During arrest, the defendant allegedly punched a police officer.
During the hearing, defense attorney Craig Ricard requested the preliminary hearing be continued, and Judge Hermmann order White go through a drug screening for potential drug treatment.
The prosecution did not object, and Judge Herrmann granted the request.
The parties will reconvene on Oct. 18.
