On Aug. 4, DC Superior Court Judge Judith Smith converted a defendant’s probation to unsupervised and extended it to January 2021.
On June 4, 2018, Keith Johnson pleaded guilty to driving under the influence on the 3900 block of 4th Street, SE on March 17, 2018.
Johnson, 57, was unable to pay $200 to the Victims of Violent Crimes Act fund on time due to a cancer-related medical procedure keeping him from work.
The defendant also did not complete an online traffic safety program, which was required for his probation. Defense attorney Thomas Lester said his client does not have internet access.
The prosecution agreed to waive the program because Johnson had already completed a traffic alcohol program and victim impact panel.
