CASE NO. CR06-197-RSL

DETENTION ORDER

Offense charged:

Conspiracy to Distribute Heroin, Forfeiture Allegation

Date of Detention Hearing: July 17, 2006

The Court, having conducted a detention hearing pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f), and

based upon the factual findings and statement of reasons for detention hereafter set forth, finds

that no condition or combination of conditions which defendant can meet will reasonably assure

the appearance of defendant as required and the safety of other persons and the community.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DETENTION

(1) Defendant is charged with a drug offense for which the maximum penalty exceeds

ten years. There is, therefore, a rebuttable presumption of flight risk and dangerousness under 18

U.S. C. §3142(e).

(2) Defendant’s criminal history includes prior theft and drug charges, with multiple

warrants issued for failure to appear for hearing. It appears from the defendant’s criminal record

that his participation in drug court in the King County Superior Court was unsuccessful due to

failure to successfully complete drug treatment. Most recently, the defendant either walked away

from or was terminated from the William Booth Center where he was in drug treatment. He states

that he left because of a disagreement about the imposition of urinalysis testing. The AUSA

proffers he was terminated for drug use. He is a current methadone user and the record indicates

other drug use as well.

(3) The defendant does not have a stable employment history. Most recently, he has

been living in his car and with a friend. 

(4) The defendant has a number of mental health issues. He reports that he was offered

mental health counseling at the William Booth Center but did not follow through with it.

(5) Nothing in the record effectively rebuts the presumption that no condition or

combination of conditions will reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant as required and

the safety of the community.

(6) There does not appear to be any condition or combination of conditions that will

reasonably assure the defendant’s appearance at future Court hearings while addressing the danger

to other persons or the community.

It is therefore ORDERED:

(1) Defendant shall be detained pending trial and committed to the custody of the
