Valor Brewpub owner Gaynor Jablonski said the plea deal, which would likely result in less than 24 months in jail, will only make D.C.'s crime crisis worse.
Jablonski said on "America’s Newsroom" Thursday that he was initially told the suspect would be held in custody until his arraignment. But last Friday, prosecutors called to inform him that the suspect would be offered a plea deal which could result in a sentence of less than 24 months.
The suspect pled guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. He was released from custody until sentencing despite objections from the prosecutor, local media reported.
