On Jan. 21, DC Superior Court Judge Renee Raymond heard a total of 14 cases during initial hearings, four of which were domestic violence-related.

Of the four domestic violence cases she heard, the judge held one at the DC jail.

The defendant that Judge Raymond held was brought in on a bench warrant for failing to appear at his hearing in which he is charged with simple assault. He is also charged with a bail violation.

The defendant will be held at the jail until his next hearing, which is scheduled for Feb. 2.

The three other defendants have charges including simple assault, attempted possession of a prohibited weapon and second-degree theft.

Two of the defendants were placed into the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP) with GPS monitoring. All three were given stay-away orders and told to come back to court on June 24.
