    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT IN AND FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF IOWA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, vs. SCOTT RYAN DEMUTH, Defendant. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) CASE NO. 3:09-CR-00117-JAJ-TJS

    ORDER

    The Court conducted an arraignment pursuant to Fed. R. Cr. 5 and detention hearing pursuant to 18 United States Code 3142(e)(f)(g) on December 20, 2009, at the United States Courthouse, Davenport, Iowa. Defendant was present by this attorney James Bryson Clements. The government was present by Assistant United States Attorney Clifford R. Cronk, III. The Court heard extensive testimony from Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent Thomas Reinwart regarding the FBI investigation into the breaking and entering of the University of Iowa Laboratory facilities in November 2005, and the nature of the damage and destruction which occurred at that facility. Special Agent Reinwart testified about his evidence obtained in that investigation. As a result of that investigation, Special Agent Reinwart was of the belief that Defendant Scott Ryan Demuth (Demuth) was involved in activities of the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), which has apparently taken credit for the occurrence at the University of Iowa in November 2005. Demuth was described as a like-minded individual with other persons who have taken part in ALF activities. The Court viewed portions of a videotape depiction of the damage inflicted at the University of Iowa during this occurrence. At least four individuals could be seen during the taping of the event. Special Agent Reinwart was of the opinion that one of these individuals had a

    resemblance in terms of physique and stature with Demuth. However, Special Agent Reinwart did not testify that he knew Demuth participated in the occurrence. The FBI has reviewed a journal kept by Demuth, and in which he discusses activities of other persons who he identified only with a single initial. One of the individuals discussed in that journal was identified as P. Special Agent Reinwart believed that Demuth was discussing an

    individual who had been a participant in destructive activities in 1998 or 1999, and who, after having been arrested, fled from authorities. That individual was subsequently apprehended seven or eight years after his apparent flight to avoid prosecution when he was arrested on a simple misdemeanor charge. This testimony was offered in support of the governments contention that Demuth poses a risk of flight to avoid prosecution. After considering all the testimony and evidence presented, the Court orders that defendant be released on bond with conditions as follows: 1. Defendant shall execute a standard bond form which shall set forth conditions for his release, in addition to those set forth in this order. Defendant shall be required to be connected at all times to a Global Positioning System (GPS) monitor. Defendant shall not remove, alter, reprogram, or in any way tamper with the monitor while on this bond. Defendant shall be under home detention while on this bond, however, this requirement shall not be in effect when defendant is participating in his graduate studies at the University of Minnesota within the Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota communities. Defendant shall be required to report weekly on his graduate study schedule to the United States Probation Office, and defendant shall not be permitted to travel outside this designated area without prior approval of the United States Probation Office.
