A non-fatal shooting defendant’s probation was revoked after failing to comply with probation terms during release in an April 25 hearing.
Anthony Calvin, 52, pleaded guilty to one count of endangerment with a firearm, in exchange for a dismissal of all other charges on Feb. 13 for his involvement in a shooting that occurred in an alleyway on Nov. 9, 2023, on the unit block of Quincy Place, NW.
He was originally charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm, endangerment with a firearm, and carrying a pistol without a license,carrying a pistol without a license outside home and business, unlawful discharge of a firearm, possession of an unregistered firearm, and two counts of possession of a controlled substance, No injuries were reported.
“I am not going to comply; arrest me,” Calvin said before abruptly ending a call with probation officers during a discussion about his failure to adhere to his release conditions.
During Thursday’s hearing, a representative from Pretrial Services Agency informed DC Superior Court Judge Erik Christian that Calvin was non-compliant with the terms of his probation. Reviewing Calvin’s records, Judge Christian noted his confrontational behavior towards probation officers over the phone, affirming he would not comply.
Calvin was released Nov.27 2023, under supervision with the Pretrial Service Agency (PSA).
According to court documents, on the day of the incident, camera footage provided to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) by a witness shows Calvin allegedly walking into an alleyway and firing a round from what appeared to be a handgun.
The witness was inside their residence when they heard a gunshot and saw Calvin outside their window holding a silver firearm.
According to court documents, as MPD was processing the scene, Calvin walked out of his residence and was stopped by responding officers because he resembled the individual captured in surveillance footage. When stopped, Calvin told officers he didn’t hurt anyone, but that he had shot a fake gun.
Due to his non-compliance with probation terms, Judge Christian ordered Calvin to be put back into custody.
Parties are set to reconvene June 27 for a full report and sentencing hearing.
