On Sept. 4, a DC Superior Court judge continued a hearing to try and set trial dates for a defendant’s cases.
Anthony Lamons, 27, is charged with simple assault and second-degree theft in these cases.
Defense attorney Adrian Madsen asked Judge Jonathan Pittman to set trial dates for these cases before Nov. 9. Judge Pittman is unable to set the trial dates at this time due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic.
The prosecution also said that a plea offer was placed on the record. Madsen said his client does not wish to accept the plea offer at this time.
Judge Pittman scheduled another status hearing for Sept. 8 to finalize the trial dates and abide by COVID-19 limitations.
These charges resulted from incidents reported on July 28, 2019, Aug. 8, 2019, Sept. 12, 2019, Oct. 8, 2019 and June 1.
Lamons is currently being held at DC jail, where he has been since June 8.
