A DC Superior Court judge decided no to release a defendant on April 16.

Dominic Risper is charged with robbery for pickpocketing a man while at the Navy Yard Metro Station on Sept. 3, 2019.

Judge Anita Josey-Herring denied Risper’s request for release due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Risper is scheduled for a felony status conference on June 16.
