On July 30, a defendant reached a plea deal with the prosecution in three domestic violence cases.
Anthony Ward pleaded guilty to attempted threats to do bodily harm in exchange for his charges of contempt, obstruction, simple assault and violating a Court Protective Order (CPO.)
DC Superior Court Judge John McCabe sentenced the defendant to 120 days. Judge McCabe gave the defendant credit for time served, so he will not have to spend any more time in jail.
He also sentenced the defendant to one year of probation, during which he must complete anger management classes and not Harass, Assault, Threaten or Stalk the victim in this case.
The defendant apologized for his actions, saying that he “did not mean what he said” when making the threats.
