_____________________________ )

Offenses charged:

Count I: Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine Base.

Count II: Possession with Intent to Distribute Cocaine.

Date of Detention Hearing: June 20, 2006.

The Court, having conducted a contested detention hearing pursuant to Title 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 the defendant

can meet will reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant as required and the safety

of any other person and the community. The Government was represented by Andrew

Friedman. The defendant was represented by Jennifer Wellman.

FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DETENTION

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

conspiracy drug offense. The maximum penalty is in excess of ten years.

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 the following reasons:

The defendant represents a risk of danger due to his lack of stable

employment or job skills. The Government’s case ties him to

possession of 3 kilograms of cocaine and a smaller quantity of

cocaine base. The case arose when he allegedly burglarized his

girlfriend’s home, prevented her from calling for help by use of

the telephone, restrained her and then fled. He was found in a

tree by a tracking canine. 

(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
