On July 24, a defendant entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) for possessing cocaine.
Howard Watkins is charged with possession of a controlled substance after being found with cocaine on the 4300 block of Wheeler Road, SE on April 9.
Watkins must complete 32 hours of verified community service in DC within the four month deferment period. He must also comply with any court orders and not violate the law or be arrested on probable cause.
If he completes these requirements, his charge will be dismissed.
DC Superior Court Judge William Nooter scheduled Watkins to return to court on Nov. 24 to evaluate his progress.
