Weapons Case Results in Deferred Sentence

After pleading guilty to a felony, the defendant entered into a deferred sentencing agreement with the prosecution on June 24.

Chauntel Watson pleaded guilty to carrying a pistol outside a home or business.

DC Superior Court Judge John Campbell put her sentencing on hold until Jan. 15.

If Watson complies with the the conditions of the plea agreement during that time, she will be able to withdraw her guilty plea and her charge will be dropped.

The conditions state that Watson must not violate any laws or be arrested on probable cause.

She must also complete 48 hours of community service. Watson can choose where she wants to complete the hours, but it must be approved by pretrial services.
