On Oct. 6, a defendant entered into a Deferred Sentencing Agreement (DSA) for her DUI charge.
The defendant pleaded guilty to driving under the influence. She picked up the case after Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers responded to a crash on the 3300 block of 14th Street, NW on Jan. 12. When the officers arrived at the scene they found the 26-year-old in the driver’s seat of the vehicle, which had collided with a median. She failed a sobriety test.
As part of the plea agreement with the prosecution, her driving a vehicle while impaired charge was dropped.
Conditions of the DSA include 40 hours of community service, participation in a traffic program, attend an online victim impact panel and pay $100 to the Victims of Violent Crime (VVC) fund.
If the defendant completes her requirements within the three month deferment period, her guilty plea will be withdrawn and her case dismissed.
“Good luck, and thanks for taking responsibility early,” the judge told her.
The defendant completed the requirements of the agreement in January. The case was dismissed.
