DC Superior Court Judge Julie Becker granted July 7 a defense attorney’s request to schedule another hearing.
On May 5, Victor Davis was charged with prison breach for fleeing the Hope Village Community Corrections halfway house. On Aug. 5, 2019, the defendant was transferred from the DC Department of Corrections to the halfway house. He arrived at the halfway house that evening and the staff did not give him permission to leave, according to court documents.
Defense attorney Lucas Dansie asked that the judge continue the case so that he and the prosecutor can use a courtroom that is more equipped to deal with plea deals.
A report revealed that, at about 10:50 p.m., the defendant was missing from the halfway house. An employee counted the residents twice and checked the defendant’s room, but he could not be found.
The defendant is being held at DC Jail and is scheduled to appear back in court on July 23.
