    IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF LIMESTONE COUNTY, ALABAMA

    STATE OF ALABAMA )

    V. ) Case No.: DC-2022-000824.00
    )
    RICE JONATHAN JAMES )
    Defendant. )

    ORDER

    The above-styled matter came before the Court this date on an initial appearance and bond
    hearing. The Defendant was present, pro se, and the State was present by and through
    Assistant District Attorney, the Hon. Kristen Clemmons.

    The Court informed the Defendant of the charges against him, informed him of his right to
    be represented by counsel, including the fact that if he was found to be indigent, counsel
    would be appointed for him, and informed the Defendant of his right to have a preliminary
    hearing.

    The Court then proceeded with a bond hearing where the Court received sworn testimony
    from Investigator Christian Frasier and arguments from both parties. In the case at hand,
    the Defendant is charged with trafficking fentanyl and alleged to have been in possession of
    462.81 grams of fentanyl which is an amount that could cause the death of as many as
    231,000 people. Moreover, if convicted, the Defendant would be facing a sentence up to Life
    in prison as well as a minimum fine of $750,000. It is also alleged that defendant was in
    possession of multiple firearms as well as drug paraphernalia that would suggest the
    Defendant was engaged in the distribution of this controlled substance which, according to
    Rule 7.2 of the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure would "indicate a substantial increase
    in the amount of bond."

    After careful consideration of the above-listed circumstances, as well as all other factors to
    be considered as laid out in Rule 7.2 of the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure, it is
    hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that the Defendant's bond in the above-styled
    case shall be $1,500,000 - CASH ONLY.

    It is FURTHER ORDERED that this matter shall be set for a preliminary hearing on the 24th
    day of May 2022, at 9:00 a.m.

    DONE this 13th day of May, 2022.

    /s/ R. GRAY WEST
