Man failed to appear at his hearing and District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Sean Staples issued a no bond bench warrant for his arrest.

Judge Staples said Ralph Wesley already has a warrant out for his arrest from another pending case from 2017.

In this case, Wesley is charged with second-degree burglary for allegedly breaking into El Rincon Espanol Restaurant, located on the 1800 block of Columbia Road, NW and attempting to steal bottles of liquor from the basement.

Wesley was arrested alongside another suspect who was also seen inside the restaurant.

Wesley has been issued two notices of noncompliance having to do with his release requirements, which includes a stay away order.

Notifications are not yet available for this specific case. Please check back later for updates. Thank you.
