A DC Superior Court judge delayed her ruling on the release of an inmate on April 13.
Cornell Glover is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon (firearm) and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior felony conviction.
Judge Anita Josey-Herring carried the case until April 15, when she said she will make a ruling.
According to court documents, on December 29, 2019, Metropolitan Police Department officers were dispatched to the 3500 block of 18th Street, SE for reports of gunshots in the area.
Upon arrival, officers saw Glover outside of the location where he seemed to be under the influence. Glover told police he was locked outside of his girlfriend’s house and asked officers to knock on the door and tell her that he loved her.
As Glover began to walk away police noticed a loose shell casing on the ground where Glover was standing. Police then detained Glover and searched him.
During the search police recovered a gun, an ASP baton, a loaded magazine and an open container of wine. Police saw that Glover did not have a permit to carry a gun and he was subsequently arrested, according to court documents.
Further investigation revealed that an officer responded to the same location the night prior when Glover’s alleged girlfriend said that he used the baton to break her car window, slapped her in the face, pointed the loaded gun at her after he cocked it and said, “Imma kill you.”
