During an April 24 hearing, a defendant’s request for removal from isolation was denied. 

Jaquel Davis, 19, is charged with receiving stolen property in excess of $1,000, and unauthorized use of a vehicle for an incident that occurred on the 1500 block of South Capitol Street, SW, in June of 2019. 

According to court documents, Davis tested positive for COVID-19. DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson denied his request for release from isolation.

Davis has a probation show cause hearing slated for July 17.
