On Aug. 3, a DC Superior Court judge sentenced a defendant to probation for simple assault.
In exchange for pleading guilty to simple assault, the prosecution dropped Dwayne Thornton’s other charges of attempted threats to do bodily harm.
Judge John McCabe sentenced Thorton to 30 days in jail, all of which were suspended, plus one year of probation.
As conditions of his probation, Thornton must receive drug and alcohol treatment as well as anger management treatment.
