Travon Hungerford is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon gun and unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction.

Judge Danya Dayson denied Hungerford’s request for release because she did not believe there would be any set of conditions that Hungerford would comply with.

Hungerford filed an emergency motion for release on March 20 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
