On Nov. 1, DC Superior Court Judge Robert Okun ordered a bench warrant for Nichelle Thomas, a homicide defendant, after she failed to appear in court.
Thomas, 35, is charged with first-degree murder while armed, two counts of accessory after the fact, and three counts of obstructing justice, for her alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of 42-year-old Anthony Jordan, which occurred on Aug. 4, on the 2500 block of Pomeroy Road, SE.
Alvin Thomas, her defense attorney, said he has not been able to get into contact with her, but has been in contact with her significant other, who has not seen her since Oct. 27 and is worried about her.
According to the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA), Thomas is non-compliant because there has not been an update on her status since Oct. 27. Therefore, Judge Okun issued a bench warrant.
No further court dates have been scheduled.
