The prosecution dismissed a defendant’s fugitive charge, saying the defendant is already being held in DC jail for an unlawful possession charge.

Kyree Dawes was originally charged with unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction on May 9. He was then charged with being a fugitive from Maryland for a separate matter on April 2.

The prosecution dismissed the fugitive charge because of Dawes’ charge of unlawful possession of a firearm. 

Dawes is scheduled to appear in court again to discuss the status of his possession case on July 10.
