DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld dismissed a Navy Yard stabbing case on July 9 after the prosecution failed to issue an indictment despite the approaching deadline.
Tiana Robinson, 31, was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. The count stemmed from Robinson’s alleged involvement in a stabbing at a park in the heart of the Navy Yard neighborhood on the 100 block of M Street, SE on Oct. 15, 2025. The victim sustained a stab wound to his right hand.
At the hearing, Judge Hertzfeld dismissed Robinson’s case as nolle prosequi, meaning that the prosecution voluntarily stops pursuing the case. The case was also dismissed without prejudice, meaning that the prosecution can refile the charges at a later date.
According to court records, charges were filed against Robinson on Oct. 16, 2025. Robinson’s case approached the nine-month indictment of July 16 and prosecutors did not intend to issue an indictment.
No further dates were set.
