A 46-year-old Baltimore man charged with involuntary manslaughter was not in attendance for a court hearing for violating his probation before Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Gregory Sampson on Feb. 17.
Joseph Plowman is charged with violation of probation.
Plowman has been on probation after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter in connection to an incident that occurred on Jan. 12, 2017. On April 17, 2018, he was sentenced to 10 years of supervised probation suspending all but 7 years.
Plowman’s defense attorney, Cynthia Christiani, was unable to locate Plowman for Thursday’s hearing which pertained to a recent violation of his probation.
The prosecutor suggested that Plowman’s probation be extended for two more years since it is scheduled to end soon.
Judge Sampson would have granted the prosecutor’s request to extend Plowman’s probation, however since he did not appear, the hearing was rescheduled.
Plowman’s next hearing is scheduled for May 16.
