A shooting defendant’s hearing was postponed by DC Superior Court Judge Carmen McLean on Feb. 28, following his recent arrest in Virginia.
On Jan. 20, 2022, Johnathan Davis, 26, pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business as part of an agreement with prosecutors in exchange for a waiver of the indictment. The charges stemmed from a non-fatal shooting that occurred on April 30, 2021 at the Union Station Metro stop located on the block of 700 First Street, NE.
Davis was sentenced to six months for each charge in 2022.
According to Davis, who faces a revocation of his probation due to his new arrest, the Virginia case will be dropped as the arresting officer refused to show his bodycam footage of the incident and no incriminating evidence was found during the search.
As a result, the court decided to postpone the hearing to wait for the outcome of the Virginia matter before further actions.
Parties are slated to reconvene March 31.
