A DC Superior Court judge sentenced a defendant on April 28 to serve time on probation.

Monroe Holloway pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon on Feb. 7 for attempting to shoot a woman and her friend on Nov. 11, 2019.

Holloway was sentenced to 18 months in jail. The whole time was suspended. The defendant’s three years of supervised release was also suspended.

Holloway will have to serve two years on probation.

In November of 2019, Holloway was released to a halfway house. Judge Todd Edelman decided against releasing Holloway from the halfway house on April 23 after Holloway motioned for release because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Instead of release, Holloway’s sentencing date was rescheduled from June 6 to April 28.
