A DC Superior Court judge issued a bench warrant for a defendant’s arrest, saying there does not appear to be any other way to find him.

Morgan Holmes is charged with simple assault, unlawful entry onto private property and contempt.

The July 20 hearing was scheduled to address the defendant’s issues with complying with his release conditions. He was released on March 6, but received a notice of noncompliance on March 10 and July 2.

A Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) representative said the defendant has been a loss of contact.
