A DC Superior Court judge continued the release of a defendant who was charged with simple assault and bail violation over five years ago.
On July 20, Charles Dixon walked into court to address an outstanding warrant he had for a simple assault case he picked up in 2014. Judge Danya Dayson quashed the warrant on July 20 and allowed him to stay on pretrial release.
She scheduled a hearing for July 28 to determine if he was being compliant with his release conditions.
During the hearing, a Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) representative said Dixon has been fully compliant with the terms of his release.
The prosecution did not object to continuing the defendant’s release.
Dixon picked up the bail violation charge in 2014 after he failed to appear in court for his simple assault case.
Dixon is scheduled to return to court on Oct. 27 for a status hearing.
