On July 9, DC Superior Court Judge Michael O’Keefe ruled that a defendant’s notice of non-compliance was invalid.
Wendell Poole is charged unlawful possession of a controlled substance — cocaine.
A representative from the Pretrial Services Agency (PSA) said a notice was filed when there was trouble reaching Wendell Poole on July 8. Later that same day, the representative said the agency made a successful contact with the defendant and verified that he has been maintaining the conditions of his stay-away order.
The notice of non-compliance was discharged.
A previous notice of noncompliance was filed against Poole on June 10. Judge O’Keefe asked that the defendant becomes more proactive in contacting pretrial services.
The defendant has no further hearings scheduled at this time.
