A stabbing defendant requested placement in an inpatient drug treatment program in front of DC Superior Court Judge Errol Arthur at a status hearing on Sept. 24. He agreed to the request.
On Feb. 29, Tina Calhoun, 65, pleaded guilty to attempted assault with a dangerous weapon for her involvement in a stabbing incident that occurred on Nov. 7, 2023, on the 2300 block of 4th Street, NE. One individual sustained injuries during the incident.
She was sentenced to a year of probation, with a 12-month incarceration sentence suspended on April 30.
A bench warrant was issued after Calhoun’s failure to appear at a status hearing on Aug. 29.
At a status hearing held on Sept. 17, Calhoun’s defense attorney Bryan Bookhard requested that Calhoun be put in an inpatient program. Judge Arthur ordered Calhoun detained and screened to see if she is a candidate for inpatient residential bed-to-bed intensive treatment for substance abuse and addiction.
The next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 1 to ensure she has been placed.
