A judge decided April 22 not to release a defendant because of the crime committed.

Tracy Kent, who is also known as Trayvon Becton, Tracy Dunbar Kent and Trevon Jackson, is charged with second-degree burglary for breaking into a house on the 1200 block of Wylie Street, NE and using the home owners credit card to make fraudulent purchases.

Judge Danya Dayson denied Kent’s motion to be released because of the burglary and also because of specific representations that the prosecution made. Those representations were not explained.

Kent motioned for release on March 24 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A jury trial is scheduled to begin on July 8.
