DC Superior Court Judge Judith Pipe warned a shooting defendant of the consequences he could face if he continued to ignore the conditions of his release on Oct. 27.
Jory Sydnor, 26, is charged with aggravated assault while knowingly armed, possession of a firearm during a crime of violence and unlawful possession of a firearm. He is alleged to be the perpetrator of a shooting at the 1400 block of Trinidad Avenue, NE on Apr. 10. One individual suffered a gunshot wound.
On Oct 27, Sydnor arrived at the court house late. Judge Pipe was moments away from calling the case without him when he entered the courtroom.
Judge Pipe, who permitted Sydnor’s release on Oct. 10, stated at the hearing that Sydnor was not fully in compliance with the release requirements.
According to Judge Pipe, he reportedly did not check in on the day he was told to, but did when he was contacted the following day. She also reported he was not testing for drugs as he was instructed.
Judge Pipe called Sydnor’s case “complicated” in regards to the community’s safety with his release, but she acknowledged no issues from Sydnor while he was on release.
Judge Pipe allowed Sydnor to remain on release, but warned him that, should he continue not drug testing as he was told, he could be held until his trial and its resolution.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Nov. 19.
