On Aug. 12, two defendants pleaded guilty to robbery and attempted credit card fraud.
Kachae Jackson, 26, and Michael Grantham, 50, stole a victim’s credit cards and license on Oct. 21, 2019, on the 900 block of H Street, NW. The two then tried to use the victim’s credit card at a designer store on the 900 block of Palmer Alley, NW.
As part of a plea agreement with the prosecution, both defendants pleaded guilty to lesser charges of second-degree theft and attempted credit card fraud. In return, the prosecution agreed not to file additional charges related to the incident.
The prosecution also agreed to recommend a 180-day sentence.
DC Superior Court Judge Juliet McKenna scheduled Jackson’s sentencing for Feb. 5, 2021, because she lives out of town.
Judge McKenna sentenced Grantham to 180 days of incarceration for both charges with credit for time served.
