A DC Superior Court judge issued a bench warrant for the arrest of a defendant who failed to appear in court.
David Stubbs is charged with carrying a pistol without a license for allegedly discarding a firearm on the 2900 Langston Place, SE while fleeing from a Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officer. According to court documents, the officer asked Stubbs to exit his vehicle for a search on June 3.
Stubbs, 29, did not show up to his Aug. 4 hearing, which was scheduled to address a noncompliance issue with the terms of his pretrial release.
A Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) representative said Stubbs has not been in touch with them since he was released in June.
Defense attorney Bruce Cooper said his client has an address that is different from the one he registered with the PSA.
Judge Gerald Fisher told Cooper to investigate if Stubbs lives at the new address.
Stubbs’ next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 3.
