DC Superior Court Judge Neil Kravitz ruled that a murder defendant will be released with GPS monitoring at a status hearing on June 13.
Nichelle Thomas, 26, is charged with accessory after the fact to second-degree murder while armed, six counts of tampering with physical evidence, three counts of misdemeanor credit card fraud, threat to kidnap or injure a person, threat to injure a person, and four counts of obstruction of justice.
These charges stem from her alleged involvement in helping her boyfriend, Lewis Jones, 28, with the murder of 42-year-old Anthony Jordan. The incident occurred on the 2500 block of Pomeroy Road, SE, on Aug. 4, 2023.
The prosecution noted that the defendant had been rearrested on two new charges, a sexual misdemeanor and assault with a dangerous weapon. Thomas’ defense, Alvin Thomas, responded that these cases against Thomas have been dismissed.
Under his release conditions, Judge Kravitz ruled that Thomas’ previous stay away order will stay in effect. She will also require drug monitoring for PCP.
The next status hearing is scheduled for July 11.
