When a defendant did not appear for his court hearing to discuss his pretrial release conditions, a judge said that this was “not surprising”.
Antoine Jackson was charged with second-degree burglary on April 11. He was released from pretrial confinement under the terms that he would comply with GPS monitoring guidelines and speak with a pretrial services officer weekly.
Jackson was t given a higher level of supervision on June 12. A notice was filed of Jackson’s noncompliance on June 9.
Another hearing was scheduled to evaluate the status of Jackson’s pretrial release.
Jackson failed to appear at the hearing.
According to the pretrial services representative, Jackson said he was living with his mother. However, the representative said that, on June 8, Jackson said he actually was not living with his mother and did not have housing.
Jackson does not own a cell phone, so the representative said they have no way of contacting him.
The prosecution requested a warrant for Jackson’s arrest, however Judge Rainey Brandt denied the request.
