CRIMINAL CASE NO. 
1:20-CR-00228-MHC-JKL 
 
O R D E R 
The Court on this date held a hearing on the petition for revocation of the 
Defendant’s pretrial release. After hearing evidence proffered and legal argument 
from both sides, and for the reasons explained in more detail on the record in open 
court, the Court finds that the Defendant has violated the condition of pretrial 
release preventing contact with potential witnesses.  The Defendant on November 
9, 2020 sent text and email messages to a potential witness, and to the witness’s 
lawyer, accusing them of asserting false claims against him, and demanding that 
they withdraw any claims, stop “harassing” the Defendant, and threatening to take 
unclear legal or other action against them if they did not comply.  
As explained on the record in Court, the Court finds by clear and convincing 
evidence that this was a violation of the Defendant’s conditions of bond and that 
the Defendant is not likely to abide by conditions or combination of conditions of 
release.

Thus, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. s. 3148(b)(1)&(2), the Court ORDERS the 
Defendant’s bond REVOKED and that he be DETAINED through trial and, if 
applicable, sentencing. 
 
IT IS SO ORDERED this 22nd day of December, 2020.
