A defendant failed to appear to his hearing on July 27.
Tyree Stanley is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm. He picked up the charge after Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers pulled him over on June 3 on suspicion he was driving a stolen vehicle. When officers searched the vehicle, they retrieved the firearm.
DC Superior Court Judge Julie Becker denied the prosecution’s request for a bench warrant. Instead, she continued the case to July 31 to give the defendant another chance to appear.
