On Sept. 22, DC Superior Court Judge Sean Staples accepted a request from a non-fatal shooting defendant to decrease his release conditions to global positioning system (GPS) only.
Johnathan Dawkins, 41, was arrested and charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a non-fatal shooting that occurred on April 24 on the 700 block of G Street SE.
During a felony status conference on Sept. 22, Judge Staples accepted the defense’s request to decrease monitoring to GPS only. The defendant was originally on GPS monitoring and curfew confinements regarding his release at home.
“Given the defendant’s compliance with original conditions, court accepts defense’s request” Judge Staples said.
Parties are expected to reconvene for a status hearing on Nov. 17.
