A DC Superior Court judge denied July 8 a defense attorney’s request for his client’s release. 

Fate Collins was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon on May 13.

The prosecutor asked Judge Julie Becker to deny the request because the defendant has been threatening the victim and witnesses in the case through telephone and social media.

Judge Becker denied the release.

Collins is scheduled to appear back in court on Sept. 22.
