A DC Superior Court judge released a woman charged with multiple misdemeanors from DC Jail on May 4.

Jessica Lawrence is charged with simple assault and bail violations. She filed an emergency motion for release because of COVID-19.

Judge Neal Kravitz released under the High Intensity Supervision Program.

Lawrence was initially released after she was arrested, but the release was revoked twice because Lawrence could not be located.

Lawrence is scheduled for a status hearing on July 20.
