Case Status
Lucas Denney was arrested on 12/7/21. According to the docket, Denney was held in custody as the Court found "the United States violated Rule 5.1 and 18 U.S.C. 3060 by failing to provide Mr. Denney with a timely preliminary hearing after his initial appearance in the Western District of Texas. The Court was prepared to release Mr. Denney under 18 U.S.C. 3060(d). However, when the Grand Jury returned an indictment against Mr. Denney on 3/7/2022, Mr. Denney's right to discharge [from custody] pursuant to 3060 ceased." A motion for release was denied 6/1/22 (doc #45). Sentencing Hearing held 9/28/2022, Denney was sentenced to 52 months of incarceration followed by 36 months of supervised release, a $100.00 special assessment is imposed, and restitution. A restitution amount of $5,601.94, made payable to the Metropolitan Police Department ("MPD"), for Sergeant K.K.'s medical bills and sick leave, was ordered.
