Magistrate Judge Robert T. Numbers II signed the order at the federal courthouse in Raleigh, records show.
The detention hearing will be held at 10 a.m.
Minute entries in the case show Belfield, who is charged in a three-count federal indictment, requested appointed counsel and a federal public defender was assigned.
Belfield was also advised of his rights, charges and maximum penalties. The government moved for Belfield’s detention.
The federal proceedings this morning came after Belfield was indicted by a federal grand jury last week for possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, possession of cocaine with the intent to distribute and using a weapon in the furtherance of a drug trafficking crime.
The fed charges stem from Belfield’s arrest last year following a raid in which 36 bindles of heroin were seized by agents of the City County Drug Task Force.
Further drug charges were lodged against him Friday when the task force arrested him in the 100 block of Hamilton Street.
