On Aug. 3, a DC Superior Court judge found a defendant competent to stand trial.

Frank Borden, 29, is charged with destruction of property less than $1,000 for allegedly cracking two storefront windows and two windows on a nearby vehicle on the 800 block of East Capitol Street, SE on July 21. 

A Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) report said that Borden was competent to stand trial. Neither party objected to the finding.

Borden is currently being held. Judge Michael Ryan scheduled a detention hearing for Aug. 26.
