A domestic violence defendant needs to comply with her release conditions if she wants to avoid an arrest warrant, a A DC Superior Court judge said Feb. 23.

The defendant is charged with destruction of property and contempt. She is also on probation for simple assault in a 2019 domestic violence case.

During the Feb. 23 hearing, the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) reported that Walters has not made contact with them since July 10, 2020. 

The defendant was not present for her hearing at first. Judge John McCabe was considering issuing a bench warrant for her arrest until she eventually arrived in the courtroom. 

The defendant’s next court date is scheduled for April 19.
