Defendant on Parole Arrested

Thank you for reading D.C. Witness. Help us continue our mission into 2024.

Kalyl Young was ordered to court April 5 after allegedly violating his probation conditions.

According to court documents, the incident occurred on May 20, 2022, on the 500 block of Irving Street, NW. Young, 20, attempted to rob another man, and in a tussle, shot himself three times in the leg. He was charged with attempted robbery and sentenced by DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan to 18 months probation under the Youth Rehabilitation Act (YRA).

As a result, Young was required to partake in cognitive therapy, seek evaluation for substance abuse, participate in a full-time educational program, and complete 90 hours of community service.

However, Young allegedly violated probation when he was arrested with six others after Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers raided a home, finding marijuana, several firearms, and a machine gun. The prosecution said Young was not found in possession of these items but was arrested on association.

Aside from this incident, Young has been in full compliance with the court.

Young’s probation was extended by 45 days. Within that time, Young will continue his cognitive therapy.

“You’re young enough to change your behavior pattern and the way you look at the world,” Judge Ryan told Young. “You’ve got to step up.”

Parties are scheduled to return to court on May 18.
