A judge held a sentencing for a defendant May 5, which resulted in his release.
Leroy Kear was convicted of attempted assault with a dangerous weapon and carrying a dangerous weapon outside of a home or business.
Judge Rainey Brandt sentenced Kear to serve 18 months in prison and three years of supervised release, but that time was suspended. Instead, Kear has to serve one year on probation with several conditions, including a stay away order, drug treatment, mental health treatment, obtaining a GED, maintaining employment and other conditions that were not specified.
D.C. Witness could not verify who or what Kear is required to stay away from.
Kear’s motion for release because of the COVID-19 pandemic was denied on April 21.
