DC Superior Court Judge Robert Hildum rescheduled a preliminary hearing for a stabbing defendant after he failed to appear on April 3.
Davon Patterson, 35, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a stabbing at the Petworth Metro station, on the 3700 block of George Avenue, NW. The victim sustained a stab wound to his arm.
During the hearing, Patterson’s attorney, Sharon Weathers, explained that the US Marshals reported Patterson was non-compliant and was not placed on the bus to the courthouse that morning. She requested that the court set a new hearing date.
The prosecution acknowledged the issue and noted that there is a pending plea offer in the case.
Parties are slated to reconvene on April 14.
