A man, charged with second-degree theft and unlawful entry for allegedly stealing merchandise from a Harris Teete, has continued to violate his home confinement.

In February of this year, Barrington Blake was barred from entering the same Harris Teeter located at 1201 First Street,. NE.

Blake was scheduled to show up in court for a hearing on June 16, but he did not appear.

Due to Blake’s absence in court and continued violation of home confinement, District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Sean Staples issued a no bond bench warrant for Blake’s arrest.

In March, Blake was placed under the high intensity supervision program (HISP).
