During a hearing on April 23, an assault defendant’s release status was held in abeyance. 

Eric Anderson, 53, is charged with unlawful entry of private property, threats to do bodily harm, two counts of simple assault, contempt of release violation, and attempted threats to do bodily harm for his alleged roll in an incident that occurred on the 6700 block of Georgia Avenue, NW, on Feb. 10. Anderson was allegedly demanding a free room at a local Hotel 6 when officers arrived. 

Anderson’s motion for release is being held until May 8, when findings from a mental health civil commitment hearing are supposed to be available. 

DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan scheduled a bond review hearing for May 8 as well.
