DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park disagreed with a report on a defendant’s competency in a mental observation hearing on June 26.
Alicia Faison, 35, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for her alleged involvement in a non-fatal stabbing on April 22 on the 4000 block of G Street, SE. The victim did not sustain life-threatening injuries.
Judge Park said he did not believe Faison was competent. A restoration offer was placed. Faison will be transferred to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in an effort to restore competency.
The prosecution also mentioned that a plea offer is available for the defendant. Specifics of the offer were not mentioned during the hearing.
According to court documents, Faison let two homeless people into her apartment. She left and when she returned, started yelling, grabbed two knives from the kitchen, and stabbed one of the individuals multiple times in the hands, arms, and neck.
Parties are scheduled to return on Aug. 8.
