DC Superior Court Judge Andrea Hertzfeld issued a bench warrant on July 15 for a defendant in a stabbing case who is currently being held in Virginia for other charges.
Miyanna Parker, 32, was sentenced on Oct. 9, 2025 to 180 days, all suspended in favor of one year of probation, for simple assault. The charge stemmed from Parker stabbing her romantic partner on the 4500 block of 3rd Street, SE on Oct. 9, 2025.
Parker was not present at the hearing, which was held to address a notice of non-compliance to her probation terms filed on July 1.
According to a representative from the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA), on June 29, Parker was arrested in Arlington, Virginia for an unrelated offense. The representative said Parker turned herself in on July 13 and has been held there since.
Judge Hetzfeld ordered a bench warrant detainer to return the the defendant to DC.
