A defendant pleaded guilty to attempted possession of unregistered firearms as part of a deferred sentencing agreement on July 15.
Charle Foster agreed to complete 48 hours of community service in either the District of Columbia or Virginia.
Judge John Campbell explained that the prosecution would dismiss all charges against her if she completes the requirements of the agreement within the next six months.
The judge said Foster would have to register as a gun offender and update her address with the police if she doesn’t successfully fulfill the terms of the agreement.
“If you do come back for sentencing, it means you’re not upholding your part of the deal,” said Judge Campbell.
Foster was arrested on May 6 after police found an unregistered Taurus TH40 handgun in her book bag while she was walking past the 1400 block of 9th Street, NW.
She was initially charged with carrying a pistol without a license, but the charge was dismissed after she accepted the plea deal.
Foster is scheduled for a deferred sentencing review on Jan. 14, 2021.
