On Aug. 25, a DC Superior Court judge scheduled another hearing for an armed robbery defendant.

Shaquille Pittman is accused of robbing a pharmacy on July 18 on the 4300 block of Polk Street, NE. According to court documents, Pittman, 25, fled the pharmacy, ran from a police officer and dropped a handgun during the chase.

During the Aug. 25 hearing, defense counsel told Judge Julie Becker that the prosecution was extending a plea deal but would need 30 days to do so. 

Parties agreed to continue the hearing until Sept. 21.
