DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe revoked a defendant’s bench warrant for failure to appear in court on July 8.
Aubrey Mays was charged with possession of a controlled substance on May 10, 2018. He failed to appear to his non-jury trial on Dec. 11, 2019.
Mays said he came to court July 8 to resolve the bench warrant in an effort to pursue sobriety. Christ House, an organization dedicated to helping homeless men, provided the defendant with medical care and substance abuse treatment.
The defendant must contact the Pretrial Services Agency once a week.
Mays’ next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 8.
