D.C. Superior Court Judge Jennifer Di Toro modified a stabbing defendant’s release conditions to include substance abuse treatment on Sept. 30.
Anthony Jacobs, 59, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly stabbing a person in the abdomen on the 1300 block of Howard Road, SE on Aug. 28.
A Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) representative revealed that Jacobs has failed to check in with PSA, verify his address, and tested positive for PCP. The representative recommended Judge Di Toro add substance abuse treatment to Jacobs’ release conditions.
The prosecution agreed with this addition and Judge Di Toro informed Jacobs that community safety is negatively affected by drug use, reminding him to comply with all conditions.
Judge Di Toro added substance abuse treatment to Jacobs’ release conditions.
The parties are slated to reconvene on Oct. 15.
