A DC Superior Court judge decided May 7 to give a defendant time to get into compliance with his release conditions.

Anthony Mason was released from jail on April 22, 2019, after being held a little more than a year in jail for an unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction charge.

Mason has not been compliant with the terms of his probation since Jan. 7. Judge Juliet McKenna decided to give Mason an unspecified amount of time to get into compliance with his probation conditions.

She also mandated that Mason call his probation officer every Monday and Wednesday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. He is also placed on home confinement and can only leave his house for court.

A probation show cause hearing is scheduled for July 17.
