Background

  • Jacob Anthony Kromberg, the defendant, is facing federal charges in the Eastern District of Michigan (Case No. 24-30289).
  • The Government moved for detention pending trial, triggering a detention hearing under 18 U.S.C. § 3142.
  • The detention hearing evaluated statutory rebuttable presumptions regarding danger to the community and risk of flight.
  • The court found Kromberg to be subject to both presumptions under 18 U.S.C. §§ 3142(e)(2) and (e)(3), based on the nature and seriousness of the charges and prior convictions.
  • Kromberg did not produce sufficient evidence to rebut these presumptions.
  • The court found substantial risk factors, including strong evidence, prior criminal history, and lack of community ties, supporting pretrial detention.
