[PROPOSED] ORDER OF DETENTION PENDING TRIAL

JOSEPH C. SPERO, Magistrate Judge

This matter came before the Court on April 8, 2014, for a detention hearing. Defendant Roeun was present and represented by counsel, Garrick Lew. Assistant United States Attorneys William Frentzen and Susan Badger appeared for the government.

Pretrial Services submitted a report to the Court and the parties that recommended detention, and a representative of Pretrial Services was present at the hearing. The government moved for detention, and defendant opposed. Proffers and arguments regarding detention were submitted by the parties at the hearing.

Upon consideration of the facts, proffers and arguments presented, the Court finds by clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of other persons and the community. Accordingly, the Court concludes that defendant must be detained pending trial in this matter.

The present order supplements the Court's findings at the detention hearing and serves as written findings of fact and a statement of reasons as required by 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i)(1).

The Court makes the following findings as basis for its conclusion that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of other persons and the community as to defendant Roeun. First, while the Court considers the facts of the instant case to be the least important factor in its determination regarding detention, this case involves trafficking firearms, as well as allegations that defendant trafficked a ballistic vest. Roeun is also charged with using a facility of interstate communication in the course of a scheme to commit murder for hire. According to agents, Roeun was recorded offering to participate in a murder in exchange for $25,000. Second, agents report that when the defendant's residence was searched, they found explosives in the form of "M-1000s" or so-called "quarter sticks" as well as five firearms and a magazine. Third, the instant charges allege firearm possession and sales, to include repeated sales of assault rifles, other firearms, a ballistic vest, and a homemade silencer. Although they were not actually sold, the defendant also offered to sell "C-4" and grenades to the undercover employee. For these reasons, the Court deems defendant Roeun to present a risk of danger to other persons and the community that cannot be mitigated adequately by conditions of release.

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3142(i), IT IS ORDERED THAT:

1. Defendant is committed to the custody of the Attorney General for confinement in a corrections facility separate, to the extent practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody pending appeal;

2. Defendant be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with counsel; and

3. On order of a court 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 defendants to an authorized deputy United States marshal for the purpose of any appearance in connection with a court proceeding.

SO ORDERED.
