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.
