emergency landing; following that landing, he allegedly resisted arrest; he is
addicted to or abuses mood-altering chemicals and is likely to continue such
conduct and violate the law if released; frequently changes his residential
address, with locations over the last eighteen months including Las Vegas, Los

charges, or the court’s authority over this case, seriously; and conditions which
