2 arrested for theft

TWO individuals were arrested and charged by the Guam Police Department with retail theft after Department of Corrections parole officers busted them with stolen items.
Jeffrey Fejeran Villacorta, 39, of Maite, and Darcy Sablan Toves, 34, of Barriagda, were arrested while checked in at the Hunter’s Inn on Y’Pao Road, according to GPD public affairs officer Allan Guzman.
Guzman said Villacorta was arrested and charged with possession of a schedule II controlled substance, retail theft, and conspiracy.
DOC parole officer Dean Taitague said Villacorta was wanted by parole officers for “parole violations.” He said Villacorta served time in 1999 for possession of a schedule II substance, namely crystal methamphetamine, commonly known as “ice.”
Villacorta is now serving three years parole for the 1999 conviction. It is still unknown whether his arrest will have an impact on his parole which is up for review by the Guam Parole Board next year.
Toves, meanwhile, was charged with illegal possession of a controlled substance, retail theft, guilt by complicity, and conspiracy. The two were booked and confined.
When parole officers arrived in their room, they immediately noticed the drug paraphernalia which is a direct violation of Villacorta’s parole conditions.
Guzman said there were about 20 DVDs found as well in the room. Police allege that the DVDs were stolen from Blockbuster Video. Also found in the room were numerous clothing items and other merchandise allegedly stolen from Goody’s and Macy’s.
