Is the federal crime of being a felon in possession of a weapon a violent crime for purposes of the preventive detention sections of the 1984 Bail Reform Act, requiring denial of bail after a plea?

Dustin Leroy Ingle entered a plea of guilty to the offense of being a felon in possession of a firearm, a federal crime. Ingle was previously convicted of an Oklahoma felony offense of unlawful possession of a controlled drug. After his initial appearance before a federal magistrate judge on the weapon possession charge he was released on an unsecured $10,000 bond under the supervision of the United States Probation Office. After he pled guilty without a plea agreement, the district court ordered that Ingle be "detained immediately" without bail pending sentencing, finding that being a felon in possession is a violent crime for purposes of the preventive detention law.
