DETENTION ORDER 15.13

18 U.S.C. § 3142(i) Rev. 1/91

PAGE 2

FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DETENTION

(1) Defendant has been indicted for a drug offense for which the maximum penalty is

in excess of ten years. There is therefore a rebuttable presumption against defendant as to both

dangerousness and flight risk, under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e).

(2) There are discrepancies in the record concerning defendant’s current residence.

He refuses to divulge his current residence address. He has an uneven employment history. His

past criminal record includes a failure to appear for a court hearing. The criminal history includes

charges for assault, reckless endangerment in the first degree, violations of supervision, burglary,

assault with a deadly weapon, extortion, and unlawful possession of a firearm. The AUSA

proffers that the defendant admitted to current activities involving weapons dealing.

(3) Nothing in the record effectively rebuts the presumption of detention.

(4) 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

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) 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 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.
