A DC Superior Court judge released a domestic violence defendant awaiting trial.
The defendant is charged with threats to do bodily harm.
He failed to appear for an April 30 hearing, and therefore received a bench warrant for his arrest.
A Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) representative said the defendant did not violate the terms of his pretrial release other than an attempt to remove his GPS tracking device.
Judge John McCabe allowed the defendant to remain on pretrial release, but reminded him that he has to wear the device even though he “may not enjoy it.”
The defendant’s next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 15.
