During an April 24 hearing, a judge denied a defendant’s motion for release.
Antwone Ford, 25, is charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside of a home or business for an incident that occurred on the 1200 block of North Capitol Street, NW, on March 9. According to court documents, Ford was openly carrying the weapon.
Ford’s defense attorney, Joseph Molina, filed a motion for release based on the unsafe conditions in D.C. jails because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
DC Superior Court Judge Danya Dayson denied the motion for release. Ford is being held without bond.
He is scheduled for a hearing on June 30.
