A DC Superior Court judge found that a domestic violence defendant was being compliant with his release conditions and continued the Feb. 17 status hearing to September.

The defendant was charged with attempted threats to do bodily harm, simple assault, condition of release violation and attempted possession of a prohibited weapon on Jan. 25. At that time, a judge decided to hold him.

Less than two weeks later, the defendant was released from DC Jail into the High Intensity Supervision Program (HISP). 

Judge Maribeth Raffinan scheduled the next status hearing for Sept. 24.
