A SUPERIOR Court marshal surrendered to Agana precinct officers for his involvement in a riot on Saturday night.
Joaquin N. Charfauros, 24, of Mangilao, was arrested at 5 a.m. on Monday after he physically attempted to stop police officers from arresting an individual involved in a Saturday night riot, according to Agana precinct commander Lt. Sonny Castro.
Charfauros was charged with assault, rioting, obstruction of government operations, official misconduct, and hindering apprehension.
“Through investigation, it was determined that Charfarous was a part of the riot as well. On Saturday night, he tried to obstruct officers from arresting one of the other suspects involved in the riot,” Castro said.
Castro added that Charfarous was also involved in the riot at the Agana Beach House bar. Other individuals involved in the riot were also arrested; their names and other information were not available as of press time.
Sources told Variety that the riot involved military personnel and local residents.
Charfauros was on the other side of the court house bench yesterday for a magistrate complaint. However, information on the hearing was not immediately available. The only information available was that he was released from holding.
