A judge released a defendant April 20 despite the fact that he is currently being held in isolation at the DC Jail.
Tre’Quan Nelson pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of ammunition and possession of an unregistered firearm on March 5.
Judge Danya Dayson agreed to release him into the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP) until his sentencing date, which is scheduled to occur on July 6.
