Bench Warrant Issued for Defendant’s Arrest

On Aug. 7, a defendant was issued a bench warrant for the fourth time in less than a year.

Sterling Moore is charged with simple assault, bail violation and assault on a police officer in four cases. He allegedly assaulted a Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer who wa sitting in a parked police car outside of the Robert Taft Memorial in DC on Sept. 11. Since then, he has picked up three bail violation charges for failing to appear for various court hearings from October of 2019 to January.

A Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) representative said Moore, 31, has been a loss of contact since his release on March 27. He has also failed to enroll in the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP.)

Defense attorney Claudine Harrison told DC Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher she was unaware of her client’s location. 

Moore’s next court hearing is scheduled for Sept. 3.
