DC Superior Court Judge John Campbell denied June 30 a defendant’s request for the court to return property that was seized during his arrest. D.C. Witness could not verify what the property was.

Charles Roberts was charged with second-degree burglary on June 2. He is accused of forcibly gaining entry into an establishment on the 200 block of Kennedy Street, NW during the early morning hours of that day. Once inside, Roberts allegedly took property and fled the scene. 

Around 6:30 a.m., Roberts allegedly forced his way into another establishment on the 3000 block of M Street, NW, and took property. There, he was apprehended by Metropolitan Police Department officers.

He was granted release on his promise to return to court.

On June 22, Robert’s defense attorney, Michael Bruckheim, filed a motion for Charles’ property to be returned.
