ORDER RE MOTION FOR FURLOUGH AND RECONSIDERATION OF DETENTION PENDING TRIAL

CHARLES S. MILLER, JR., Magistrate Judge.

Defendant was charged in an Indictment with the offenses of conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance and maintaining a drug-involved premise. A detention hearing was held on February 20, 2018 and defendant was released pending trial. On or around August 3, 2018, the court issued an arrest warrant for defendant based on his noncompliance with the terms of his supervised release—mainly several positive test results for methamphetamine and failing to contact Pretrial Services. Defendant evaded arrest until September, 11, 2018. The U.S. Marshals found defendant hiding in the insulation of his attic. Defendant is currently detained at the Heart of America Correctional Facility in Rugby, North Dakota pending trial.

On October, 15, 2018, defendant filed a motion for furlough and reconsideration of the order of detention pending trial. Defendant asks to be released to obtain a chemical dependency evaluation at the New Freedom Center in Bismarck, North Dakota. He further asks that if the New Freedom Center has available beds that he be allowed to enter into inpatient treatment at the facility. The government opposes defendant's motion.

The court concludes that defendant is not an appropriate candidate for a substance abuse evaluation and inpatient treatment placement, based on defendant's history of noncompliance with Pretrial Services and his history of evading arrest. The defendant's motion for furlough and reconsideration of detention pending trial is DENIED.
