A DC Superior Court judge denied April 21 an inmate’s request to be released from a youth correctional facility. He will remain in the custody of the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS).

Makhi Inge, 18, pleaded guilty to armed robbery and robbery on Jan. 23. Inge is being charged as an adult despite committing the crimes while he was 17.

Judge Danya Dayson ordered Inge to remain in custody until his sentencing date, which is scheduled on July 7.
