DC Superior Court Judge Juliet McKenna continued an Aug. 10 hearing for a possession case to Aug. 25.
Anthony Coleman is charged with possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance while armed and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction.
Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers saw Coleman, 29, fleeing the scene of a shooting on the 1800 block of Q Street, SE, according to court documents. When Coleman saw the officers, he approached them empty-handed.
However, officers found an unregistered firearm where the defendant hid from the shooting.
Coleman told officers he returned fire at a vehicle that was shooting at him. He said he had cocaine and $300 on his person. The white powder police found tested positive for cocaine.
