Bail revocation sought in case of DEA agent

A DEA agent accused of propositioning several young boys was placed on intensive supervision Thursday after prosecutors asked that his bail be revoked.

Deputy District Attorney Pam Weckerly told District Judge Joseph Bonaventure that Steven Kinney, 42, had violated a temporary protective order by entering the home of Kinney's estranged wife, Ruth, on June 2.

Kinney's attorney, David Chesnoff, told Bonaventure that Ruth Kinney gave him written permission to enter the home.

Bonaventure said he would have liked to have had an evidentiary hearing on the matter, but understands Ruth Kinney now lives out of state.

Bonaventure admonished Kinney to behave himself and not to contact his wife.
