A defendant’s domestic violence case was dismissed in exchange for him pleading guilty in another case on Aug. 16.
In December 2019, the defendant was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction. Last May, he picked up the same two charges in a domestic violence case.
The defendant pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon in his older case. As part of the plea deal, his domestic violence case was dismissed.
Judge Yvonne Williams scheduled the defendant to be sentenced on Oct. 21. In the meantime, he will remain held at DC Jail.
