On March 20,DC Superior Court Judge Heidi Pasichow reminded a shooting defendant she needs to successfully complete drug rehabilitation in order for her plea agreement to be guaranteed.
Dakia Thomas, 43 was originally charged with four counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, and four counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, among other charges, for her involvement in a non-fatal shooting incident that occurred on Dec. 16, 2021, on the 3500 block of Albert Irvin Cassell Place, NE. No injuries were reported.
According to court documents, Thomas fired multiple times towards two individuals sitting in a vehicle at the location.
On Feb. 20, Thomas accepted a deal that required she plead guilty to two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, in exchange for a dismissal of all other charges.
As part of the plea agreement that the prosecution offered Thomas, she is required to successfully complete a drug rehab program before her sentencing.
Judge Pasichow reminded Thomas of her requirements, and emphasized that she must meet her obligations.
A sentencing is scheduled for May 3.
