A DC Superior Court judge released a defendant who was being held in a mental hospital.
Corey Bridges is charged with simple assault, attempted threats to do bodily harm, attempted second-degree theft, destruction of property less than $1,000 and bail violation.
Bridges had been held at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, DC’s psychiatric institution since July 18, 2019. On May 4, Judge Neal Kravitz ordered Bridges’ release from the hospital and into the High Intensity Supervision Program because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The defendant has release conditions that were not specified and a stay away order.
Bridges has a status hearing scheduled on July 6.
