On July 21, a defendant entered into a deferred prosecution agreement.
Debra Lambert pleaded guilty to simple assault for striking a victim on Dec. 19, 2019, on the 2900 block of Knox Place, SE.
Lambert must complete 32 hours of community service within the four month-long deferment period. The agreement also states that she cannot receive any new charges.
Lambert is also ordered not to harass, assault, stalk or threaten (HATS) the victim.
Judge William Nooter explained to Lambert that, if she complies with the requirements during the deferment period, her guilty plea will be withdrawn and the prosecution will dismiss the case.
Lambert will return to court on Nov. 20 to discuss her compliance.
