During the hearing, Carmany, the pretrial services official, recommended releasing Powell on bond, noting he had strong family ties to the area and owned a business.

Randon asked the prosecutor about bond.

“Is there any objection from the government to any of the other conditions that pretrial services has recommended or are you seeking detention?” Randon asked prosecutors. “What are you doing?”

“The government doesn’t have any objections to the recommendations pretrial services has made,” Cares said.
