A MAN who went to Guam Memorial
Hospital for no apparent medical reason ended up in jail after threatening
the life of Jennifer C.R. Cruz, the wife of Lt. Gov. Mike Cruz, who is
also the acting nursing supervisor at the government hospital.
William Crezso was escorted out by hospital security after storming inside
the office of Cruz at 3:45 p.m. on Friday.
Hospital witnesses said Crezso looked very irritated and was heard shouting
while pointing his finger at Cruz.
According to the lieutenant governors wife, she received a call
from the hospitals emergency room informing her that Crezso was
making threatening remarks, saying that he was going to blow up the place
and that Jennifer would be the first to go.
Cruz said the threat made her tremble and fear for her life.
A witness identified as Betty told police officers she heard
Crezso made the same threatening remarks, validating Cruzs complaint.
Based on the magistrate complaint made by Assistant Attorney General William
Pole, Crezso has a prior offense record in 1999 which was transferred
to Department of Military Affairs.
Crezso is now facing one count of terrorizing as a third-degree felony,
one count of terrorist conduct as a third-degree felony, one count of
assault as a misdemeanor and one count of reckless conduct as a misdemeanor.
Gas inhaler
In other news, a man convicted for assault in 2003 and 2005 was charged
anew with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct after trying to evade
police authorities who caught him inhaling gas from the tank of an abandoned
vehicle in Dededo.
Charles Henry Flores Cruz, 19, was seen siphoning gasoline from an abandoned
vehicle on the shoulder of the road using a hose.
The same witness who called police stated that there were several occasions
in the past when he observed Cruz walking down the shoulder of the road
sniffing gasoline from a can.
Police Officer S.G. Topasna approached Cruz asking him to move away from
the vehicle and place his hands on the side of the car, but Cruz began
yelling at him.
The police officer tried to subdue Cruz, who struggled and attempted to
strike Cruz with his elbow. Cruz also attempted to head-butt Topasna but
missed.
