DETENTION ORDER

PAGE -2-

FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DETENTION

(1) There is probable cause to believe the defendant committed an offense

involving a minor. There is therefore a rebuttable presumption against

the defendant’s release based upon both dangerousness and flight risk,

under Title 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e).

(2) Nothing in this record satisfactorily rebuts the presumption against

release for several reasons: 

(a) Due to the nature of the instant offense involving a twelve year

old, the defendant is viewed as a risk of danger to the community

and minors in particular. 

( b) The defendant has an extensive history of failing to appear and

failing to comply with court orders and is homeless, therefore

posing a risk of nonappearance. 

(c) The defendant’s long history of alcohol abuse has not been

addressed despite enrollment in different treatment programs.

(3) Based upon the foregoing information it appears that there is no

condition or combination of conditions that would reasonably assure

future Court appearances and/or the safety of other persons or the

community.

It is therefore ORDERED:

(l) The defendant shall be detained pending trial and committed to the

custody of the Attorney General for confinement in a correction facility

separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving

sentences or being held in custody pending appeal;

(2) The defendant shall be afforded reasonable opportunity for private

consultation with counsel;

(3) On order of a court of the United States or on request of an attorney for

the Government, the person in charge of the corrections facility in which

the defendant is confined shall deliver the defendant to a United States

Marshal for the purpose of an appearance in connection with a court

proceeding; and

(4) The clerk shall direct copies of this order to counsel for the United

States, to counsel for the defendant, to the United States Marshal, and to

the United States Pretrial Services Officer.

DATED this 31st day of March, 2006.
