A DC Superior Court judge denied a  defendant’s request to be released from DC Jail. 

Richard Little is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.

Judge Ronna Beck agreed with the prosecution’s opposition to Little’s release, finding him too dangerous for release.

Little was arrested on April 20 after allegedly fleeing from Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers, according to court documents. Once the officers detained him on the 3300 block of Alden Place, NE, they found Little’s jacket wrapped around a pistol and ammunition in his bag.

Little’s next court appearance his scheduled for Sept. 8.
