During an April 24 hearing, a defendant’s case was dismissed and he was granted release.
Keenan Miller pleaded guilty to violating bail in another case. As part of the plea agreement the defendant’s other case where he was charged with first-degree theft, receiving stolen property in excess of $1,000, unauthorized use of a vehicle and possession of drug paraphernalia was dismissed.
According to court documents, DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson granted the defense motion for release following the end of Miller’s mandatory quarantine period in relation to COVID-19. Miller is to be released no later than April 25 at 10 a.m. because he was being held in quarantine on April 24.
According to court documents, Miller is homeless and his counsel was able to confirm there was a shelter that is accepting occupants. The shelter is testing all new occupants and separating those who have COVD-19 from the occupants who do not.
Miller’s March 20 sentencing was rescheduled to July 13.
