A defendant completed the final requirement of his sentence for a probation show cause hearing, successfully resolving the case before DC Superior Court Judge Tanya Jones Bosier on Nov. 4.
William Staggs, 54, pleaded guilty on Oct. 10, 2023, to simple assault and attempted possession of a prohibited weapon for his involvement in a nonfatal stabbing in the 1100 block of Owen Place, NE, that injured one person.
Staggs paid $100, and $50 for each charge, to the Victims of Violent Crime Fund, the final requirement of his punishment.
The probation officer present at the hearing said that Staggs had completed all other obligations including the completion of anger management courses. The probation show cause was dismissed, and the case was closed.
Judge Jones Bosier said that she hopes she does not see Staggs again.
No other dates were set.
