An armed carjacking defendant asked to check in less with his probation officer during a probation show cause hearing before DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe on Jan. 29.
Anardo Little, 19, was sentenced on Dec. 12, 2025 to a fully suspended sentence in favor of 18 months probation for unauthorized use of a vehicle during a crime of violence and carrying a pistol without a license. The charges stem from his involvement in an armed carjacking at the intersection of 12th and H Streets, NE, on Oct. 14, 2024.
At a probation review hearing, Little’s defense attorney, Susan Ellis, said he had been “doing great” on supervision and was compliant. Little’s officer from the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) emphasized his compliance and said he checked in twice a week in person.
Ellis and Little’s other attorney, Morgan Crawford, requested that Little be required to check in less frequently because they said it interfered with his education. They suggested that some check-ins could be over the phone.
Little’s CSOSA officer said that this was the first time she had heard that the frequency of his check-ins were an issue. Judge Pipe asked parties to determine a solution amongst themselves, but said she was “happy” to issue an order if needed.
No further dates were set.
