PAGE 2

The defendant has a history of failing to appear and has been infracted on 23 occasions during the

past five years while on supervision since 2005, reflecting an apparent inability or unwillingness

to comply with court orders. He has unverifiable employment status and substance abuse

problems.

(2) Defendant also poses a risk of danger to the community. He was previously

convicted of homicide, which was reduced to manslaughter in the second degree due to a ruling

by the Washington State Supreme Court. When he committed this crime, he was on supervision

from another conviction, indicating an inability or unwillingness to follow supervision. As

discussed above, he was infracted on 23 occasion over the last five years while under state

supervision.

(3) The current charges began with an observed brutal assault on another person.

(4) When he was arrested, he admitted to law enforcement that he was a member of

the 74 Hoover Crips gang.

(5) No conditions or combination of conditions other than detention are apparent that

will reasonably assure the defendant’s appearance at future Court hearings or the safety of 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
