DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian issued a bench warrant for the arrest of a felon on probation.
Alaunte Scott, 19, was sentenced to one year of probation for carrying a pistol without a license outside a home or business in December of 2019. His sentence was passed under the guideline of the Youth Rehabilitation Act (YRA.)
Scott was scheduled for a probation hearing on Aug. 31 to determine probable cause regarding the search. However, he failed to appear.
Scott picked up the case after an incident that occurred July 26 on the 1900 block of 17th Street, SE. on July 26. According to court documents, Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers noticed a bulge in Scott’s left pocket and recovered the weapon.
