Probation officer convicted of providing alibi for boyfriend

A District probation officer has been convicted of trying to mislead authorities about her boyfriend’s whereabouts during a shooting in Southeast D.C.

According to prosecutors, 31-year-old Lakeisha Scott lied to investigators and to a grand jury about her boyfriend’s activities the morning of Jan. 16, 2011, when he fired 11 rounds into an apartment building. A D.C. Superior Court jury convicted her this week of obstruction of justice.
