A minute entry for the proceedings today at the federal courthouse in Greenville note Senior Judge Malcolm J. Howard heard detention hearings for Lann Clanton; Cory Jackson; Ikeisha Jacobs; Jason Boone, Adrienne Moody and Jimmy Pair Jr.

Curtis Boone; Antonio Tillmon; Alania Sue-Kam-Ling; Kavon Phillips; Alphonso Ponton and Thomas Jefferson Allen III have their detention hearings set Wednesday.

“(The) Court took up each case individually thereafter. After hearing arguments from counsel for all defendants and from counsel for USA, the court determined that each defendant could be released on special conditions. All defendants released after processing,” the minute entry says.

Clanton was given home detention, according to the conditions of his his pre-trial release. Documents for the others do not have home detention checked off in their release sheets.

The applicable conditions for all six include, among other factors, for them not to leave the Eastern District without approval of probation; avoid contact with all defendants; not possess firearms; not unlawfully possess narcotics and as well not excessively use alcohol.

Halifax County Sheriff Wes Tripp, whose office received the initial tips in the probe, said this afternoon, “Everyone is innocent until proven guilty and that also includes former law enforcement officers. Detention is not meant for punishment and the government and their defendants will have their day in court.”

The arraignment date for the so-called Rockfish 15 has been set for the December term of court.
