On July 30, a DC Superior Court released a defendant facing multiple charges into the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP.)

The defendant is charged with simple assault in two domestic violence cases. He is also charged with contempt for allegedly violating his release conditions, unlawful entry onto private property, possession of a controlled substance and simple assault in two misdemeanor cases.

Judge Judith Pipe decided to release the defendant from pretrial detention. She said that, because of the defendant’s lack of a criminal history, he does not present a risk to the community.
