Tarireef White Case Number: 07-168M
Defarzdcmt
In accordance with thc Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3 l42(f), a detention hearing has been held. I conclude that the following facts require the
detention ofthe defendant pending trial in this ease.

Part II—Written Statement of Reasons for Detention
I find that the credible testimony and information submitted at the hearing establishes by X clear and convincing evidence X a prepon-
derance ofthe evidence that
The Defendant waived his right to contest pretrial detention. Based on the evidence presented at the probable cause hearing, and provided to
the Court by the Probation Office, the Court finds clear and convincing evidence that no combination of conditions could reasonably assure the
sat`ety of the community between now and the time ofthe Defendant's trial. The Court further finds that no eombination of conditions could
reasonably assure that the Defendant would appear· for all Court events in this matter.
The Court has reached these conclusions based on the following findings and for the following reasons:
the nature and circumstances ofthe offense: the Defendant is accused of being a felon ( with prior convictions including being a felon in possession
ofa firearm — unlawfully in possession ofa firearm while traveling on the streets of Wilmington inthe early morning hours.
the weight ofthe evidence: is strong; Wilmington PD officers observed the Defendant riding a bike in a manner indicating possession ofa
concealed firearm, when attempting to stop the Defendant he fied and threw what appeared to be a firearm, and a firearm manufactured outside
Delaware was found immediately thereafter in the same placc; the Defendant has been convicted of prior state and federal felonies.
thc history and characteristics of the Defendant: although having ties to the community and having made somc cfforts to obtain employment, the
Defendant has been convicted ofthree prior felonies, two of which involved firearms; hc abuses or at least regularly uses PCP; he has two Delaware
violations of probation and two Delaware failure to appear eapiases; and he was on federal supervised release at the time of the instant arrest.
the nature and seriousness ofthe danger to the communig that would be posed by thc Defendant's release: as a multiply—convieted felon in
possession of a firearm, and an individual who has proven himself non-amenable to judicial supervision, the Defendant would pose a serious danger
to the community if released.
