Judge Schedules Hearing in Assault Case

On Aug. 24, DC Superior Court Judge Julie Becker scheduled a preliminary hearing to determine if a case has enough evidence to go to trial.

James Yarborough is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and threats to injure or kidnap a person in connection with an incident that allegedly occurred on or around July 17.

The preliminary hearing is set to take place on Sept. 23. 

Yarborough, 24, is also charged with possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance while armed, possessing a firearm during a crime of violence, carrying a pistol without a license, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and possession of drug paraphernalia in a separate case, according to DC Courts.

Yarborough will remain in DC Jail awaiting his next court appearance, where he has been since July.
