On Feb. 17, DC Superior Court Judge Renee Raymond presided over four domestic violence cases during initial hearings.

Of these four cases, Judge Raymond held one of the defendants, releasing the rest.

The defendant the judge chose to hold is charged with simple assault. The defendant, a 33-year-old male, is also on pretrial release on a GPS monitoring device tampering charge, which he picked up in January of 2020.

The defendant will be held at the jail pending his next hearing, which is scheduled for March 9.

The three other defendants are charged with simple assault, unlawful entry onto private property, destruction of property and attempted threats to do bodily harm.

All three of those defendants were released with orders to stay away from the alleged victims, locations of the incidents or both. They were also ordered to report back to court on July 21.
