A DC Superior Court judge released a defendant on June 15 after he agreed to terms set by the prosecution.

Travone Person, 32, was arrested on April 4. He was charged with attempted threats to do bodily harm and attempted possession of a prohibited weapon for an incident that occurred earlier that day on the 1900 block of Savannah Street, SE.

Defense Attorney Jonathan Layni requested a hearing after Person entered into an agreement which grants him pardon from the prosecution if he completes 32 hours of community service.

Judge Juliet Mckenna released Person after evaluating his commitment to service and rehabilitation. He is released on personal recognizance as long as he promises to appear at all future court dates.

Future hearings will be set to discuss Person’s improvement, as stated in the agreement. Person’s next scheduled court date is on Oct. 15.
