Judge Considering Releasing Defendant

A DC Superior Court judge said he is considering releasing a defendant but needs more information before making a decision.

Michael Dudley is charged with simple assault and destruction of property less than $1,000.

Judge Michael Ryan said he is considering putting Dudley in the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP) but needs the defense to contact pretrial services to confirm that Dudley is eligible for the program.

D.C. Witness reported that Dudley was not eligible for the program on May 6 because an arrest warrant was not executed.

Judge Ryan decided to continue the hearing so that the defense can make contact with pretrial services.

The hearing is scheduled to continue on May 15.
