On July 26, officers from the Metropolitan Police Department arrested a suspect for striking a victim with a bat.
During his initial hearing on July 27, Lawrence Winston, who is also known as Lawrence Morgan, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.
According to court documents, surveillance footage shows the suspect and the victim were involved in a verbal altercation when the 52-year-old suspect struck the victim multiple times with a bat.
The prosecution’s request for Winston to be held pending trial was denied because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The defendant was released.
He is scheduled for another hearing on Oct. 26.
