A judge on Thursday put the brakes on a planned plea hearing for 27-year-old Tyler Feight, accused of attacking a woman out on a jog in College Park, and reset the case for July 7. Prosecutors told the court they need more time to confirm where Feight would live during a proposed stretch of community control before they are willing to finalize a deal.
Prosecutors Seek Proof Of Living Arrangements
Prosecutors have floated a plea offer that would give Feight credit for time he has already served, followed by one year of community control and two years of supervised probation. But they said they will not sign off until his housing during community control is locked in and verified, according to WESH. The state told the judge that the residence check is needed to make sure the court can actually enforce supervision if the agreement goes forward.
What He Is Accused Of
Feight was arrested after an April 2025 incident on the 1800 block of Northumberland Avenue, where a woman reported she was struck and that someone tried to sexually assault her before she fought the attacker off, according to local reporting. The April arrest and the original attempted sexual battery and battery charges were first detailed in coverage of the Northumberland Avenue attack.
Plea Deal And Probation Status
Feight later pleaded no contest to a reduced charge under a deal that gave him credit for roughly 225 days already served and placed him on probation with adjudication withheld, according to ClickOrlando. Investigators say he was arrested again in December after he missed required therapy sessions and failed to live at his designated address, violations they say triggered a warrant and sent him back before a judge.
Why The Delay Matters
Prosecutors told the court they will not move ahead with the current plea package unless they can guarantee housing and supervision, because community control comes with strict conditions and close monitoring, WESH reports. If his probation is revoked, Feight could be ordered to prison on the underlying charges and face additional penalties depending on how the judge rules on any violation.
Neighbors Still Uneasy
Neighbors and regular runners in College Park told local reporters they remain unsettled by the case and by earlier releases tied to plea agreements, saying they do not feel as safe on nearby streets, as WFTV reported. The next hearing is set for July 7, when the judge will decide whether to accept the proposed deal or send the case back toward trial.
