A defendant pleaded not guilty to 47 charges.

Joshua Foxworth is charged with conspiracy, trafficking stolen property, receiving stolen property worth more than $1,000, first-degree theft, second-degree theft, third-degree theft, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, credit card fraud, and destruction of property, third-degree theft during release, credit card fraud during release and destruction of property during release.

Foxworth, 29, is currently being held at DC Jail. Defense attorney Kevin Robertson asked DC Superior Court Judge Judith Smith to continue the Sept. 1 pretrial show cause hearing so he could speak with his client. 

The defendant was initially released but was later held after violating his pretrial release conditions. 

Foxworth’s case began when he was charged with first-degree theft and receiving stolen property in April of 2019. He picked up the other charges last March. 

According to court documents, Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers conducted a search of Foxworth’s home and found earpods that were stolen on April 4, and clothing that matched what the thief was wearing in surveillance footage.

Items recovered from Foxworth’s home on April 4 include several laptops, wallets filled with cash and credit cards, passports, ledger books and cell phones.
