DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe warned a shooting defendant to comply with probation requirements after a reported violation on Sept. 2.
Dayquan Henderson, 23, was convicted of possession of an unregistered firearm and unlawful discharge of a firearm for his alleged involvement in a shooting. The incident occurred on May 11, 2024 on the 300 block of Anacostia Road SE.
On Aug. 19, Henderson missed a check-in with his probation officer. The parole agency, Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA), responded with a recommendation to participate in the Reentry and Sanctions Center (RSC) program for a failure to appear regarding a substance abuse disorder.
However, the request for his participation in the 28-day assessment was denied by Judge Pipe. Instead, she recommended Henderson adhere to the original conditions of probation more consistently and scheduled a meeting with his probation officer to get back on track.
During the hearing, Judge Pipe was unhappy with imposing extreme measures in light of a slight parold infraction. However, she emphasized the importance of complying with the parole officer’s conditions to prevent further issues in court. The hearing resulted in a dismissal of the proposed violation.
Parties are slated to reconvene Nov. 13.
