A defendant pleaded guilty after accepting a deferred sentencing agreement with the prosecution on June 22.
Deon Malloy, 39, was charged with simple assault on March 8. She was arrested after getting into an altercation with her daughter.
The agreement states that Malloy must plead guilty to the simple assault charge and complete anger management classes. She must also receive an assessment and treatment for drugs, alcohol and mental health.
If Malloy successfully completes these requirements within six months, she can withdraw her guilty plea and will no longer be prosecuted.
DC Superior Court Judge John McCabe approved the agreement, asking Malloy to return in six months to evaluate her success in completing her requirements.
Malloy is scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 22.
