A DC Superior Court judge decided to hold an assault defendant on a $5,000 cash bond on July 24.
Clifford Dyson, 24, was charged with assault on a police officer earlier on July 24. Dyson was also being held pending sentencing on an unlawful possession of a firearm charge.
The prosecution asked for Dyson to be held, citing Dyson’s multiple prior convictions and pending cases.
Judge John Campbell granted the prosecution’s request. However, at the request of the defense, Judge Campbell also agreed to set a cash bond for Dyson’s hold.
Dyson is scheduled to appear in court again on Aug. 21 to discuss the status of his case.
