Both Banfield and Peres Magalhaes are being held at the Adult Detention Facility in Fairfax County, Descano said. She has been held there since her arrest last October. Davis said they had no “legitimate reason” to seek to hold Banfield elsewhere, and Descano noted there is only one detention facility in the county and it was “just typical protocol” to house him there.
