On Aug. 7, a DC Superior Court judge continued a hearing to give the defense more time to consider a plea offer.

Clenteous McCoy, 22, was charged with possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance after Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers found a substance that tested positive for cocaine while conducting a search warrant on June 17 on the 300 block of 63rd Street, NE.

Defense attorney Sara Kopecki said that the prosecution extended a plea offer, which her client is seriously considering. 

Judge John Campbell continued the hearing to Aug. 12 at the agreement of both parties.
