DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe ordered a stabbing defendant to comply with stay-away orders during a probation show cause hearing on Feb. 26.
Manuel Yeager, 41, was sentenced on Jan. 9 to three years imprisonment, all suspended, in favor of one year of probation for assault with a dangerous weapon. The charge stemmed from a stabbing on the 2300 block of Q Street, SE, on June 3, 2025.
As part of Yeager’s probation, Judge Pipe issued a stay-away that required Yeager to stay-away from his brother and his brother’s house.
According to court documents, Yeager stabbed his brother in the shin after an argument.
During the hearing, Judge Pipe detailed Yeager’s non-compliance. According to the judge, Yeager’s brother called 911 after Yeager went to his house. Judge Pipe told Yeager that the stay-away order applied to his brother as well as his brother’s house.
Judge Pipe discharged the show cause order for non-compliance against Yeager and told him to adhere to his probation requirements.
Parties are set to reconvene on March 9.
