A DC Superior Court judge ordered GPS monitoring for a homeless defendant on probation on July 22.
Delonte Reed pleaded guilty to unlawful entry, contempt, assault on a police officer and bail violation on Dec. 7, 2015. He pleaded guilty to another bail violation on July 12, 2017.
Reed was sentenced to 100 days in jail, all of which were suspended, plus one year of probation in 2019.
A Court Services Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) officer said there has been no contact with the defendant since February. He has been arrested four times since then, but no charges have been filed. Despite previously receiving treatment, one of the re-arrests involved drug activity.
Defense attorney Michael Madden said his client is currently at the Adam’s Place Shelter. Madden said all of the defendant’s charges relate to his homelessness and drug use.
Judge Danya Dayson told the defendant to contact the Addiction Prevention and Recovery Administration (APRA) and follow their recommended program placement. She said the only alternative to this is jail time.
Reed’s next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 4.
