On Aug. 4, a DC Superior court judge scheduled a felony domestic violence defendant’s next hearing.

The defendant was charged with aggravated assault knowingly on May 11. He also currently has two other cases open, in which he is charged with unauthorized use of a vehicle, possession of a prohibited weapon and simple assault.

Defense attorney Lauckland Nicholas, said that the prosecution extended a potential plea offer earlier on that day. He also said that the potential offer encompasses all three of the defendant’s pending cases. 

Nicholas requested another hearing date so he could discuss the terms of the agreement with his client.

Judge John Campbell granted Nicholas’ request. The defendant is scheduled to appear in court again on Sept. 11 to continue discussing the potential plea agreement.
