On Oct. 26, a DC Superior Court judge denied a motion to review the bond status for a defendant in a felony domestic violence case.
The defendant was originally charged with assault with a dangerous weapon for allegedly running over a victim with his car, twice. His charge was amended to assault with intent to kill while armed on June 30.
He has been held in DC Jail since charges were filed against him on May 27. The defendant has had bail denied on both July 2 and Sept. 17.
The prosecution said that the defendant has repeatedly violated a stay away order against the victim by communicating with her over the phone in jail.
Judge Julie Becker decided to continue holding the defendant because of his disregard for the conditions that have been placed on him.
The defendant’s next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 18.
