Pedro Carbajal-Olimon (“Defendant”) has been indicted for conspiracy to
distribute and possess with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl and
500 grams or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of
methamphetamine, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 846, 841(a)(1), and
841(a)(1)(A)(vi) and (viii). Thus, the statutory presumption in favor of detention
applies in this case. See 18 U.S.C. § 3142(e)(3)(a). Furthermore, the
Government represents that Defendant has no current ties to central Ohio. See
ECF No. 9.

December 26, 2025. He was ordered released. See Case No. 3:25-mj-7109-

release order pending the Court’s consideration of whether Defendant should be
detained pending trial. ECF No. 9.
