This petition to grant bond is for Dquan Melvin based on the following. The alleged assault of said victims was not carried out by Dquan Melvin. Dquan Melvin’s property was taken, and Mr. Melvin went to retrieve his property which is shown by (Macarthur Mall video surveillance footage). "A man may use force to defend his real or individual property in his actual possession against one who endeavors to dispossess him without right." Alexander v. Commonwealth., 508 SE 2D 912 – VA: Court of Appeals 1999.

Defendant was previously charged with one count of the following:

1.        Malicious Wounding

2.        Conspiracy

3.        Use of F/A in Commission of Felony

4.        Malicious Wounding by Mob

       Each have been nolle prosequi by the Commonwealth during a Motion’s hearing on 12/12/19, Which creates a notable change in circumstance in the case at bar. Circumstances have changed greatly since the last hearing about bond, Defendant should be entitled to an added bond hearing based upon such changes in circumstances.

        Moreover, Mr. Melvin can be seen by visual evidence in the form of a non-aggressor. In the case at bar, Defendant was denied bond and it was stated by the Circuit Court that the ultimate factor for denial of Defendant’s bond was “Defendant had a large public following." Defendant argues that his pretrial detention is mistaken or unjustified deprivation of his liberty. If you are in agreeance that Mr. Dquan Melvin deserves a bond because he is not a danger to the community, please sign this petition.
