On Sept. 17, a DC Superior Court judge sentenced a defendant for driving under the influence of alcohol.
As part of a plea deal with the prosecution, Beneyam Tefera pleaded guilty to the DUI in exchange for being sentenced as a first time offender.
Judge William Nooter sentenced Tefera, 41, to 30 days, all of which was suspended, plus nine months of unsupervised probation.
Tefera was originally charged with DUI second offence after failing a field sobriety test in December of 2019 on the 5900 block of Georgia Avenue, NW.
The defendant must also pay $100 to the Crime Victims Compensation Program.
