DC Superior Court Judge Lynn Leibovitz postponed the probation show cause hearing on June 10 for a shooting defendant due to an unrelated federal case.
On Dec. 22, 2020, Ronald L. Yarborough, 29, pleaded guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his involvement in a shooting that occurred on June 23, 2020, on the 400 block of 2nd Street, NW.
Yarborough was sentenced to 36 months for assault with a dangerous weapon and 18 months for possession of an unlawful firearm, served concurrently. At sentencing he was required to be on two years of supervised probation upon release.
On Jan. 29, as Yarborough served his probation, he was arrested in connection to a federal firearm case.
Donna Beasley, Yarborough’s defense attorney requested additional time to allow the federal case to be resolved before dealing with the possibility of a revocation of probation.
Yarborough is set to return to court on July 10.
