As the 15 charged in the Operation Rockfish police corruption scandal await their formal detention hearings, court records show they will all be represented through the Federal Public Defender's office.

While financial affidavits are not available for inspection, the orders appointing a public defender are.

“Defendant having demonstrated eligibility for appointment of counsel at government expense, the Federal Public Defender is directed to provide representation in this action,” the order for Lann Clanton, a former Weldon police officer and correctional officer, says. “The court further determines that the defendant is unable to pay the fees of any witness, and pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure, the Clerk shall issue a subpoena for any witness necessary to present an adequate defense to the pending charge or charges.”

The same applies to the other 14, the court records show.

Meanwhile Friday, temporary detention orders were issued in the case to keep all 15 in the custody of the United States Marshal's Service until their formal detention hearings on Wednesday and Thursday.

They will appear in the following groups:

Group A:

Clanton

Ikeisha Jacobs

Jason Boone

Wardie Vincent Jr.

Cory Jackson

Group B:

Jimmy Pair Jr.

Curtis Boone

Thomas Jefferson Allen II

Alphonso Ponton

Tosha Dailey

Group C:

Adrienne Moody

Antonio Tillmon

Alaina Kamling

Kavon Phillips

Crystal Pierce

Group A will have their detention hearings Wednesday at 10 a.m. Group B will follow at 2 p.m. Group C will have their detention hearings Thursday at 10 a.m.

The hearings will be held at the federal courthouse in Raleigh on New Bern Avenue in Courtroom 2.
