UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. BAYRON EBERTO GARCIA-PEREZ, Defendant.
DETENTION ORDER
S. KATE VAUGHAK, United States Magistrate Judge.
Offenses charged:
1. Conspiracy to Distribute Controlled Substances.
Date of Detention Hearing: December 1, 2021.
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 safely of other persons and the community.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DETENTION
1. Defendant has been charged with a drug offense, the maximum penalty of which is in excess often years. There is therefore a rebuttable presumption against defendant as to both dangerousness and flight risk, under 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e).
2. Defendant poses a risk of flight based on his significant connections Guatemala, he is in the United States unlawfully, has no ties to this District, and travelled interstate on several occasions in connection with the charged offense. Defendant poses a danger to the community based upon the nature of the offense, including interstate travel and the seizure of 80, 000 fentanyl pills and two firearms from his residence, and his alcohol use.
3. 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 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 State Probation Services Officer.
