On July 29, a DC Superior Court judge rescheduled a pretrial show cause hearing for July 31 after a defendant and his attorney did not appear in court.

Joshua Foxworth was charged with first-degree theft and recieving stolen property in April of 2019 in connection with a series of thefts ranging as far back as December of 2018. 

Foxworth has been released awaiting trial under the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP) since November of 2019. He has received several notices of noncompliance with his pretrial release conditions, which were scheduled to be addressed during the July 29 hearing. 

Foxworth faces a total of 47 charges: 20 counts of receiving stolen property worth $1,000 or more; five counts of second-degree theft; four counts of destruction of property worth less than $1,000; four counts of unlawful entry of a motor vehicle; three counts of first-degree theft; three counts of misdemeanor credit card fraud; conspiracy and trafficking stolen property. 

At some point after his initial pretrial release in April, he allegedly committed additional offenses. Several additional charges included first-degree theft offenses committed during release, receiving stolen property worth $1,000 or more committed during release, destruction of property worth less than $1,000 committed during release, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle committed during release and misdemeanor credit card fraud committed during release.
