January Homicides Consist of Two Vehicular Deaths and a Shooting

According to D.C. Witness data, there were three reported homicide incidents and four victims in January – one of the victims was originally injured in December, but died in January. Two of these incidents were vehicular deaths, and the third was a shooting.

As of Feb. 5, the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) has identified one suspect among the three incidents.

Santana Matthews, 20, is charged with second-degree murder while armed for his alleged involvement in a vehicular homicide on Jan. 7 on the 1100 block of 16th Street, NW, which resulted in the death of 26-year-old Aaron Williams.

According to court documents, Matthews was reportedly driving at a high speed when he struck another vehicle, then ricocheted and hit Williams, who was walking across the street. Matthews is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Feb. 27.

Additionally, on Jan. 7, 32-year-old MPD Officer Terry Bennett succumbed to his injuries, following an incident on Dec. 23, 2025 on the eastbound lanes of I-695 where he was struck by a high-speed vehicle. Jerrold Coates, 47, is charged with second-degree murder for his alleged involvement in Officer Bennett’s death and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Feb. 10.

MPD has not identified a suspect for the other vehicular death or fatal shooting reported in January. William Gardner, 60, was struck and killed by a black 2000 Chevy Silverado while walking in the roadway on Jan. 3 in the northbound lanes of DC-295.

The first fatal shooting of the year resulted in the death of 18-year-old Malik Moore on Jan. 21 on the 1300 block of Varnum Street, NE.

MPD is currently offering a reward for information on the unsolved cases.

Inmate Stabbed by Three Suspects, Judge Finds Probable Cause

DC Superior Court Judge Charmetra Jackson Parker found probable cause on Feb. 6 for the stabbing of a fellow inmate at DC Jail by three co-defendants.

Ernest Cleveland, 32, Nathaniel Patten, 31, and Antoine Turner, 33, are charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and assault with significant bodily injury while armed for their alleged involvement in the stabbing of an inmate at the DC Jail on the 1900 block of D Street, SE, on Dec. 30, 2025. The victim sustained injuries to the upper torso and head but survived the incident.

In court, Judge Jackson Parker heard arguments for and against probable cause. The prosecution brought forward an investigator for the Department of Corrections (DoC) to testify on the facts of the case.

According to the investigator, he reviewed court surveillance (CCTV) and compiled reports from correction officers. The courtroom viewed the footage.

The footage depicted the altercation where an individual identified as Patton who was seen engaging first with the victim. Individuals identified as Cleveland and Turner were alleged filmed joining the stabbing shortly after.

The investigator said the defendants were all assaulting the victim with “stabbing like motions.”

The investigator claimed he distinctly saw Cleveland, Patten, and Turner reach into their waistbands and pull out, what he assumed to be, a sharp object resembling a “shank,” a homemade knife. He apparently knew they had weapons based on previous experience, noting that inmates often carry homemade weapons in their waistbands.

According to the investigative reports and surveillance footage, the three suspects fled the scene following the assault. According to the witness, Cleveland was reportedly observed flushing an object down a toilet in an open jail cell.

Patten’s defense attorney, Ferguson Evans, implied the investigators assumptions were not clearly based because there was no strong evidence that Patten had a sharp object in his hand.

Evans criticized the investigator’s assertion, saying just “because [Patten] has his hands in his pants” does not mean he holds a weapon.

The investigator was questioned on his interpretation of the surveillance. He continuously repeated that he could not recall the specifics, especially who possessed a weapon and who stabbed the victim from the video alone.

It was clear to the investigator, however, that Cleveland swung at the victim with stabbing motions but failed to make contact.

The prosecution argued for probable cause citing the placement of the victim’s injuries and the contact allegedly made by Patten and Turner.

Judge Jackson Parker agreed with the prosecution that there was obvious evidence pointing to assault with a sharp object by one of the defendants. She found probable cause for the assault with a dangerous weapon charge for Patten, Turner, and Cleveland.

Cleveland’s initial charge of assault with significant bodily injury was dropped due to the lack of contact between his movements and the victim. The charge remains for Patten and Turner.

Parties are slated to reconvene March 9.

‘I Can Be an Example For Other Youth,’ Shooting Defendant Says At Sentencing

DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz sentenced a 17-year-old shooting defendant to four years of imprisonment during a hearing on Feb. 6.

Ka’Raun Foster, 17, pleaded guilty on Sept. 19, 2025, to aggravated assault knowingly and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence while armed for his involvement in a non-fatal shooting on March 29, 2025, on the 1200 block of 7th Street, NW. The juvenile victim suffered gunshot wounds to the stomach, left elbow, and left shoulder during the incident.

Foster was charged under Title 16, which allows juveniles to be charged as adults for certain serious crimes.

During the sentencing, the prosecutor requested five years of imprisonment for the possession charge, concurrent with two years for the aggravated assault charge. He opposed sentencing under the Youth Rehabilitation Act (YRA), which offers sentencing flexibility, allows a sentence below the mandatory minimum guidelines, and lets a defendant’s name along with their conviction be sealed after they complete their sentence.

The prosecutor added that the victim’s family, who was present in court, agreed that Foster shouldn’t be sentenced below the minimum. He stated that the good grades and large number of certificates submitted by the defense doesn’t negate the actions of shooting the 15-year-old victim in the stomach.

According to the prosecutor, Foster’s recklessness showed ,“He doesn’t understand the consequences of his actions.”

The prosecutor argued that the YRA wasn’t made for this situation because it’s not Foster’s first encounter with the law and he “doesn’t appreciate the consequences of his conduct.” Leniency in sentencing will lead to additional offenses, said the prosecutor.

Referencing Williams v. United States, a DC Court of Appeals case that addressed the circumstances in which the YRA may apply, Judge Kravitz explained that, contrary to the prosecutor’s suggestion, the case supports application of the YRA. Judge Kravitz said when a defendant does not fully appreciate the consequences of their actions, the law reduces culpability because of their diminished understanding.

Foster’s attorney, Megan Allburn asked for two years for the aggravated assault charge and four years for the possession charge to run concurrently. Allburn said that Foster appreciated the consequences of his conduct and that’s why he should be sentenced under the YRA.

Judge Kravitz corrected Allburn, saying both parties were incorrect and argued the opposite of the law. The judge further explained that for the best argument of YRA for the defense, Foster should not understand the consequences of his actions.

Allburn continued, saying that intervention, support, and education helped Foster and will continue to help him. According to Allburn, Foster continued his education while incarcerated and had not failed any classes. In addition, Foster received many certificates for his hard work and has been playing sports, acting like a “sponge– taking on all new experiences,” said Allburn.

According to Allburn, Foster reflected on his actions, had excellent behavior while incarcerated, and found new male figures in his life to guide him.

“We are certainly able to see rehabilitation at work,” Allburn remarked and continued that Foster’s success is “concrete evidence of change and maturity.”

Foster spoke to the court, saying he thinks about the incident every day, and his emotions got in the way of his thinking during the shooting. He apologized to the victim’s family and said he’s “not a troublemaker.”

According to Foster, he supported his mom and younger sister, both present in court, and it was hard for him to see them struggle during his incarceration.

Foster said he wants to go to college and “can be an example for other youth,” in turning his life around and staying out of trouble. Foster concluded his statement by reiterating his remorse for his crimes.

Before issuing his sentence, Judge Kravitz stated the case was, “not a particularly close question,” in reference to the length of the sentence due to the incident almost resulting in a homicide. Judge Kravitz sentenced Foster under the YRA, issuing a sentence of four years of imprisonment for each charge, to run concurrently, followed by three years supervised release. Foster will be required to register as a gun offender in DC upon his release.

Allburn requested Foster stay at the Youth Services Center (YSC) at the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) until his 18th birthday, a request that was granted by Judge Kravitz. The judge also granted the recommendations from Allburn that the defendant be put in educational and vocational programs, along with a GED program.

No further hearing dates were set.

Defendant Pleads Not Guilty in Domestic Homicide

A homicide defendant pleaded not guilty to all charges in the fatal shooting of his mentally impaired wife before DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park on Feb. 2.

Josiah Garrison, 27, is charged with second-degree murder while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of his spouse, 25-year-old Taeje Butler. The incident occurred on April 9, 2025, on the 3500 block of 6th Street, SE.

Christen Philips, Garrison’s defense attorney, alerted the court that Garrison intended to plead not guilty to all charges, and asserted his constitutional rights.

According to a detective, Butler sustained a gunshot to the left side of the neck, which exited through the top right of her head and killed her instantly. An affidavit authored by the detective, and adopted as part of his testimony, stated that Garrison’s four-year-old child told Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers “Daddy had been playing scary movie games… daddy went to the closet, and got the gun and then boom.”

According to Garrison, Butler had been having severe mental mental health issues before the shooting.

The defense previously requested the charges be dismissed because the prosecution filed the indictment a week late. Judge Park denied the request and moved forward with the arraignment.

Phillips requested Judge Park dismiss the home confinement requirement for Garrison’s release conditions, asking for a curfew to be imposed in order to find a job. He was originally ordered to home confinement with GPS monitoring, a case which Judge Park described as “exceedingly rare.”

Garrison was around 20 minutes late to the hearing, which may be an issue if it happens again, according to Judge Park. The prosecutor opposed the change in release conditions and said Garrison had been late to multiple hearings.

Garrison has been reporting to his case manager from the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) monthly as required and has been compliant with all conditions since July, the agency confirmed.

Judge Park granted the request, imposing a 10 p. m.-to6-a. m. curfew and said PSA would need to approve any deviation from that time frame. Garrison will also remain on GPS monitoring.

Parties are scheduled to reconvene Aug. 14.

Judge Denies Shooting Defendant’s Release–For Now

DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur denied a shooting defendant’s request for release during a hearing on Feb. 6.

Marvin Smith, 32, is charged with aggravated assault knowingly while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction for his alleged involvement in a shooting on the 2400 block of Elvans Road, SE on March 22, 2022. The incident left one victim with injuries to both legs.

During a trial readiness hearing, Smith’s attorney, Janai Reed, requested Judge Arthur release Smith. Reed noted that Smith was detained for more than 850 days, stating “I think it is enough.”

Reed claimed the prosecution will be unable to provide sufficient evidence to convict Smith, citing an updated story by the victim, who Reed claimed stated Smith was not the shooter.

The prosecution opposed Smith’s release and shared a video of the victim and a shooter, who they claimed was Smith. The video showed the shooter and the victim in an altercation before the shooter brandished a firearm and fired three shots at the victim, striking him.

The prosecution asserted there was strong evidence suggesting Smith committed the offense despite the victim’s statement. In addition to the evidence, prosecutors pointed to Smith’s two prior firearm convictions and the violent nature of the offense when opposing his release.

After observing the evidence and hearing the arguments, Judge Arthur denied Smith’s motion for release. Judge Arthur said that the severity of the charges and Smith’s criminal history compelled him to keep Smith detained.

“I don’t find that a release, at this point, is warranted,” he said.

The parties are scheduled to reconvene on March 12.

Judge Orders Updates On Homicide Defendant’s Mental Competence

DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman ordered the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) to provide an update on their efforts to restore a homicide defendant’s mental competence on Feb. 6.

In order to stand trial, a defendant must understand the charges against him and be able to help his lawyers.

Alberto Valle-Carranza, 56, is charged with first-degree murder premeditated while armed for his alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of 31-year-old Reyna Garcia-Lopez, on December 19, 2023, inside an apartment on the 1200 block of 11th Street, NW.

Judge Edelman mentioned that at a prior hearing on Dec. 18, 2025, parties discussed whether Valle-Carranza was mentally competent to stand trial. As a result, Judge Edelman allowed time for a conclusive finding. The judge said Valle-Carranza had many issues including vision loss, deafness, diabetes, mental health, speech, and language deficiencies.

During the hearing, the prosecutor and a psychiatrist from DBH expressed their concerns about the lack of updates they received from DBH on evaluation and treatment efforts for Valle-Carranza. Judge Edelman indicated that little progress was made in the past few months to restore Valle-Carranza’s competence.

The psychiatrist also noted Valle-Carranza was non-compliant with his doctors. For example, Valle-Carranza refused to accept with diabetes care, which adversely impacts his mental health, said the psychiatrist. According to the psychiatrist, DBH disagreed about whether Valle-Carranza needed certain treatments.

Valle-Carranza’s defense attorneys, Julie Swaney and Andrew Ain, said since there were no updates on any treatments or testing happening, the case was questionable without successful restoration.

Given the lack of information, Judge Edelman stated he would file a written order directing DBH to submit a detailed report before March 2 including an outline of their efforts and a management plan to address Valle-Carranza’s medical and mental health needs.

Valle-Carranza was ordered by Judge Edelman to remain at Saint Elizabeth’s Hospital until the next hearing.

Parties are scheduled to reconvene on March 5.

Doorbell Shooting Defendant Accepts Plea Deal

A defendant who shot at two people who rang his doorbell accepted a plea deal before DC Superior Court Judge Deborah Israel on Feb. 6.

Darryl Woods, 64, was originally charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful discharge of a firearm, and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction greater than a year. These charges stem from his involvement in a shooting on Aug. 23, 2025 on the 4600 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, SE. Shots were fired, but no injuries were reported.

At the hearing, Erin Griffard, Woods’ attorney, said that Woods accepted an offer from prosecutors that required him to plead guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction of greater than one yeaer. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to dismiss the remaining charges.

As part of the agreement, parties agreed to a sentence between the bottom and bottom third of the guidelines for each charge, to run concurrently. The agreed upon sentence is subject to Judge Israel’s approval at sentencing.

Judge Israel asked prosecutors to share what the evidence against Woods would have proven if they had gone to trial.

Prosecutors said the day of the offense, Woods “shot at two victims after they had knocked on his door and ran.”

“[Woods] shot his gun knowing he had prior convictions,” emphasized prosecutors.

Judge Israel confirmed Woods’ understanding of the charges he pleaded to and the factual basis.

Parties are set to meet for sentencing on May 1.

Judge Issues Bench Warrant for Murder Defendant on Probation

DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman issued a bench warrant for a murder defendant on probation in a hearing on Jan. 30.

Carlos Turner, 28, was sentenced on June 5, 2025 to three years of supervised probation for second-degree murder while armed and conspiracy to commit a crime of violence for his involvement in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Michael Taylor on the 1700 block of Benning Road, NE, on Jan. 12, 2019. Two additional victims were injured during the shooting.

According to prosecutors, while on probation, Turner was charged with a new case in Virginia. The prosecution requested that Judge Edelman revoke Turner’s probation due to him failing multiple drug tests and the new case against him..

Michael Bruckheim, Turner’s defense attorney, had no objections to the prosecution’s request.

Judge Edelman said he could not revoke Turner’s probation because he was not physically present at the hearing, due to his detention in Virginia. The judge issued a bench warrant in order to return Turner to DC for further proceedings.

Parties plan to reconvene when Turner returns to DC.

Judge Delays Stabbing Plea Following Immigration Confusion

DC Superior Court Judge Robert Salerno deferred a guilty plea in a stabbing case after the defendant appeared confused about the consequences the deal could have on his immigration status on Feb. 2.

Muhammad Abubakor, 25, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for his alleged involvement in a stabbing that injured one individual on Oct. 30, 2025, near the 3400 block of 14th Street, NW.

Before addressing the plea, defense counsel John Sample asked for the defendant’s release, arguing that Abubakor needed to care for a relative undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. Judge Salerno denied the request, citing a prior failure to appear in Maryland.

Sample also alerted Judge Salerno of Abubakor’s intent to accept a plea to attempted assault with a dangerous weapon. Under the agreement, the prosecution would waive further indictment without recommending harsher penalties, with no sentencing cap. The charge carries a maximum penalty of five years of incarceration and/or a $12,500 fine.

Judge Salerno questioned Abubakor to ensure he understood the rights he would give up by pleading guilty, including a jury trial. The prosecution then stated it would have proven at trial that Abubakor stabbed the victim in the back, relying on video footage and testimony. Abubakor agreed to waive these rights.

The judge halted the plea process when he advised Abubakor that a guilty plea could carry immigration consequences, including potential deportation. After conferring with Sample, Abubakor appeared uncertain about the agreement, suggesting he wanted to return to Nigeria.

Judge Salerno directed the defendant and counsel to discuss the issue privately. Defense counsel agreed to extend the mandatory deadline for the proceeding, and the prosecution agreed to keep the plea offer open.

The parties are slated to reconvene on March 6.

Jail Stabbing Defendant Waives Preliminary Hearing

A jail stabbing defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing of the evidence against him before DC Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman on Feb. 6.

Cedae Hardy, 21, is charged with assault with intent to kill while armed for his alleged involvement in stabbing another inmate on October 12, 2025 at the DC Jail on the 1900 block of D Street, SE.

According to the court documents, the victim sustained 10 stab wounds, eight to his back and two to his arms.

During the hearing, Hardy’s attorney, Chidi Oglo, informed Judge Edelman of his client’s intent to waive his right to a preliminary hearing. Judge Edelman ensured Hardy was aware of the rights he gave up by waiving the hearing and confirmed that his signature was on the document.

The prosecutors noted that the stabbing was recorded on the surveillance cameras in the jail and that a correctional officer allegedly identified Hardy as the perpetrator.

The prosecutor mentioned that Hardy was also charged with carjacking in DC District Court and could face life in prison for the offense. Ogolo mentioned that he did not represent Hardy in that case.

Parties indicated they were working toward a global disposition that would resolve both cases.

Parties are set to reconvene on March 6.

Defendant Pleads Guilty to Fatally Shooting His Ex-Partner

A homicide defendant accepted a plea deal in front of DC Superior Court Judge Rainey Brandt on Feb. 4.

Desmond Thurston, 48, was originally charged with two counts of first-degree murder while armed, two counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict, and first-degree burglary for his involvement in the fatal shooting of Patricia Johnson, 52. The incident occurred on Oct. 1, 2023 on the 4000 block of 13th Street, SE.

Thurston’s defense attorney, Brian McDaniel, told the court that Thurston intended to accept a plea deal for second-degree murder while armed in exchange for the dismissal of all other charges. Through the deal, parties agreed to a sentencing range of 24-to-26 years.

According to the prosecution, had the case gone to trial they would’ve proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Thurston murdered Johnson in her residence after she filed an emergency temporary restraining order against him. The two were known to previously be in a relationship.

The defendant will also have to register as a gun offender.

Parties are slated to reconvene June 5.

Judge OK’s PTSD Evidence in Fatal Shooting

DC Superior Court Judge Neal Kravitz accepted expert testimony from a psychologist indicating a defendant’s alleged involvement in a shooting may have been imperfect self-defense triggered by a post-traumatic stress response, during a hearing on Feb. 3.

Khalid Claggett, 42, is charged with first-degree murder while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a convict, for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of Isaac Aull Jr, 30, on the 1600 block of Franklin Street NE, on June 11, 2021.

All of Claggett’s charges have an aggravating circumstance of being committed during release for an unrelated matter during the incident.

The psychologist, called by defense attorney Howard McEachern, diagnosed Claggett with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in 2024. According to the expert, the diagnosis may imply that Claggett’s alleged involvement in the shooting was due to his misinterpreting the danger of the situation, a symptom of PTSD.

According to Judge Kravitz, Claggett had previously been diagnosed with PTSD in jail in 2003, but that cannot be discussed during the trial.

The prosecutors attempted to determine if Claggett could have been faking or exaggerating his PTSD symptoms in his evaluation. They pointed out how PTSD pretenders will often be very open about their symptoms and paint themselves as the hero of the situation without expressing guilt.

The witness said Claggett was open about his symptoms but did not use overly technical language, which is also common among malingerers according to the prosecutors. The witness said Claggett was able to describe his symptoms without being prompted.

“He was reluctant but compliant when talking about trauma,” the witness said.

While the witness could not recall whether Claggett expressed guilt over the shooting, he noted that he did express guilt over a fire that occurred in his childhood while he was playing with a lighter.

“He also blamed himself when his siblings died in a fire,” the witness said. “He was an unsupervised child.”

The witness did not perform symptom validity tests on Claggett and formed the diagnosis after a two-hour evaluation. Prosecutors questioned this practice, to which the witness stated that “Every psychologist makes a diagnosis after two hours.”

“It’s a necessary feature of the human psyche that not everything is objective,” he said. “There is no blood test for PTSD.”

The prosecutors noted that a diagnosis in 2024 can not prove what, if any, symptoms an individual was experiencing at a given moment in 2021. The prosecutors said they will call forth another psychologist during trial to evaluate the witness’ diagnosis.

Judge Kravitz found that there were no relevancy arguments against the witness’ testimony because “imperfect self defense has nothing to do with the defendant’s ability to form a particular mental state.” He granted the defense’s request to have the expert testify in trial.

Parties are slated to reconvene Feb. 4.

Jury Convicts Defendant in Flag Football Murder

After less than a day of deliberations, a jury found a murder suspect guilty of all charges before DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson on Feb. 3.

Antonio Hawley, 22, was charged with first-degree premeditated murder while armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, and carrying a pistol without a license outside of a home or business for his involvement in the fatal shooting of Aaron Wiggins, 26, on Oct. 6, 2021. The incident occurred on the 400 block of 13th Street, SE, on the field outside Watkins Elementary School, following a nighttime flag football scrimmage.

Throughout the trial, prosecutors presented witness testimony and surveillance footage that linked Hawley to Wiggins’ shooting. According to the prosecution, Wiggins and Hawley, who used to be friends, were part of two football teams playing against each other. After Wiggins scored the game-winning touchdown, disagreements ensued, which ended with Wiggins’ fatal shooting.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 10.

Defendant Pleads Not Guilty in Teen’s Murder

A defendant pleaded not guilty in the fatal shooting of a teen before DC Superior Court Judge Jason Park on Feb. 2.

Navar Rogers, 18, is charged with first-degree murder while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 15-year-old Zyion Turner. The shooting took place in an apartment on the 4200 block of 4th Street, SE, on Sept. 2, 2023. Turner suffered from two gunshot wounds to his face and neck.

During the hearing, Terrence Austin, Rogers’ attorney, alerted the court of his intent to plead not guilty and asserted his constitutional rights.

Parties are scheduled to reconvene April 9.

Remorseful Stabbing Defendant Receives Suspended Sentence

DC Superior Court Judge Deborah J. Israel imposed a fully suspended sentence of six months for a stabbing defendant on Jan. 30.

On Nov. 3, 2025, Qwayne Patterson, 33, pleaded guilty to attempted assault with a dangerous weapon for his involvement in a stabbing that injured one man on Oct. 16, 2025 on the 4400 block of Barnaby Road, SE.

At the hearing, the prosecution suggested a sentence of six months’ incarceration followed by three years of supervised release due to the seriousness of the crime.

Patterson’s defense attorney, Daniel Kovler, requested a fully suspended sentence except for the 17 days that the defendant had already served at the DC Jail, and asked for 24 months of supervised probation. Kovler reported that Patterson had exhibited good compliance, and that the incident had been a matter of “two seconds” of uncharacteristic behavior for which Patterson immediately apologized and took responsibility.

Kovler also disclosed that although Patterson is a legal resident of the United States, he has not yet obtained U.S. citizenship, and this incident prevent his application for at least five years, which Kovler stated would be punishment enough for his client.

Patterson expressed his regret for the crime. Judge Israel acknowledged his statement as genuine, and commended his compliant and respectful behavior throughout the legal process following his arrest.

As a result, Judge Israel imposed a fully suspended sentence of six months in favor of 24 months of supervised probation, with the condition that it could be converted to unsupervised probation at 12 months if Patterson exhibited compliance.

Patterson received an additional, fully suspended sentence of 180 days in favor of 24 months of unsupervised probation for a misdemeanor charge stemming from an unrelated matter.

No further hearings have been scheduled at this time.
