MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER OF DETENTION PENDING TRIAL

A detention hearing was held today in accordance with the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f). The following requires detention of the Defendant pending trial in this case:

(1) There are no conditions or combination of conditions that would reasonably assure the appearance of the Defendant as required and the safety of the community.

The evidence against the Defendant meets the probable cause standard. The Defendant is a multiple time convicted felon, is alleged to have included his family (wife and two kids) in the commission of this offense, was recently released from parole for a felony offense, and has a long history of violent behavior. The Defendant is a poor candidate for bond.

The Defendant is committed to the custody of the United States Marshal or his designated representative for confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal. The Defendant shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity for private consultation with defense counsel. On order of a court of the United States or on request
