On July 15, DC Superior Court Judge John McCabe required a defendant, who is already on probation, to start wearing a GPS monitoring device. 

Aloysius Carter pleaded guilty to violating a Civil Protective Order (CPO). The prosecution said he was released in June 2019. According to DC Courts, he received pretrial release for a charge of destruction of property less than $1,000 at this time.

Since then, Carter, 61, violated the terms of his probation by failing to report to drug testing and violating the same CPO. He was also re-arrested for attempted threats to do bodily harm on June 24.

The prosecution said the person who filed the CPO against Carter fears for her safety around him. She has had to deal with the defendant violating the CPO for multiple years. 

Carter’s next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 27.
