A hearing for a defendant facing unlawful possession charges was rescheduled.
George Thomas is charged with possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, possession of an unregistered firearm, possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance and unlawful possession of ammunition.
The hearing was rescheduled for July 1, but then rescheduled again for Sept. 16.
According to court documents, police found a semi-automatic handgun and marijuana when they executed a search warrant allowing them into Thomas’ apartment on the 5300 block of E Street, SE April 4. The warrant was filed March 29.
A jury trial was scheduled for April 15. However, it was unable to take place because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
