An armed carjacking defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing of the evidence against him on Aug. 7 before DC Superior Court Judge Eric Glover.
Jerail Stroud, 26, is charged with armed carjacking and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence for his alleged involvement in an incident that took place at the intersection of South Capital Street and Anacostia Avenue, SE on July 4, 2024.
After Stroud waived his preliminary hearing in court, the prosecution asked that Stroud be detained.
Stroud’s defense attorney, Thomas Lester stated there was “no contest,” meaning they would not be objecting to the hold or asking for Stroud’s release.
Judge Glover ordered Stroud continue being held pending future proceedings.
Parties are slated to reconvene Sept. 10.
