A DC Superior Court judge sentenced a re-sentenced a defendant to time served for a drug charge.

Back in 2018, Terrell Jackson was sentenced to 14 months, 11 of which were suspended, plus 18 months of supervised probation for attempted possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. After having his probation revoked, he received the same sentence again last February.

However, Jackson fell out of compliance with his probation again and was detained at DC Jail in May.

On Nov. 24, Judge Erik Christian re-sentenced the defendant to time served. He did not impose any period of probation or supervised release. 

However, Jackson must pay $100 to the Victims of Violent Crime (VVC) compensation fund.
