A DC judge released a woman from custody on April 28.

Deborah Pipkin is charged with misdemeanor offenses including simple assault and attempted possession of a prohibited weapon.

Judge Michael Ryan decided to release Pipkin but imposed release conditions to ensure her return to court and the safety of the community.

Pipkin was released on personal recognizance in 2019, but in January she violated bail by not appearing at a hearing. She has been held without bail since February.

Pipkin is scheduled for July 2.
