DETENTION ORDER
MARY ALICE THEILER, Magistrate Judge.
Offense charged: Felon in Possession of a Firearm; Possession of Heroin with Intent to Distribute
Date of Detention Hearing: February 10, 2016.
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 safety of other persons and the community.
FINDINGS OF FACT AND STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR DETENTION
1. Defendant is charged by Complaint with possessing a Springfield XC .45 caliber pistol, being a prohibited person as a result of previous felony convictions in the State of Washington. He is also charged with possession of heroin with intent to distribute.
2. Defendant's criminal record includes bench warrant activity for failures to appear. There are several outstanding warrants, and pending criminal charges in Skagit County.
3. Defendant was not interviewed by Pretrial Services. His background information is unknown or unverified. He does not contest detention.
4. Defendant poses a risk of nonappearance based on unverified background information, a history of failing to appear, and a pending criminal matter. He poses a risk of danger based on criminal history.
5. 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 Pretrial Services Officer.
