ORDER ON DEFENDANT’S REQUEST FOR RELEASE
On May 4, 2020, the Court granted Defendant’s motion to reopen the detention
hearing. (Order, ECF No. 345.) On May 11, 2020, the Court conducted a hearing on the
issue of release or detention. Defendant asks the Court to release him to reside at Fresh
Start Sober Living in Bangor, Maine.
After consideration of the evidence presented at the hearing and the factors set forth
in 18 U.S.C. § 3142(g), for the reasons stated on the record, which reasons include
Defendant’s criminal history, including a history of violations of bail, Defendant’s alleged
attempt to avoid law enforcement in October 2019, and Defendant’s involvement in drug
activity, the Court finds there are no conditions that would reasonably assure Defendant’s
appearance as required or provide for the safety of the community.
The Court, therefore, denies Defendant’s request for release.
