Detective Alexander T. Sakisat said police responded to a theft incident in Afetnas on July 5, 2012, at about 8:20 p.m.
The victim reported to police that his air compressor was stolen from his residence.
After inquiries from neighbors, the victim said he recovered his air compressor at his cousin’s house in San Antonio.
A witness told police that Aguon sold the air compressor to another individual who happened to be working for the victim’s cousin.
When confronted, Aguon admitted to police that he went to the victim’s house on July 2, 2012, and took the air compressor.
Yesterday, Department of Corrections officers brought Aguon before Superior Court Judge Perry B. Inos, who “released” Aguon from custody for this case, but remanded him to custody for his 2010 criminal conviction.
Assistant Attorney General Nicole Driscoll represented the CNMI government while the Public Defender’s Office was appointed by the court as Aguon’s counsel.
On Dec. 18, 2011, Aguon was booked and arrested for disturbing the peace, and minor consuming alcohol.
The status of this case was not immediately available.
Aguon was released from prison on Nov. 1, 2011 for his 2010 criminal conviction, and was placed on probation for five and a half years.
In Oct. 2010, Aguon admitted to hitting a restaurant owner with a rock in Chalan Kanoa in May 2010.
Aguon was sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment, all suspended, except for 18 months without the possibility of parole.
Aguon and a juvenile were arrested after they robbed Chang Won Restaurant in Chalan Kanoa on May 1, 2010.
They stole $25 from the establishment, police said. No information was available regarding the case filed against the juvenile.
The Attorney General’s Office earlier submitted a petition to revoke Aguon’s probation for his Dec. 2011 arrest.
Regarding the probationer’s 2010 conviction, the AGO at that time said Aguon had not made any payments toward his $100 court assessment fee; had only performed eight hours out of court-ordered 500 hours of community work service; and had failed to report to Community Guidance Center since his referral on Nov. 17, 2011.

I disagree with all of you. This guy is not a kid. He's 20 years old. He's an adult.
You can't blame his parents forever. It's time adults take responsibility for their own actions. If he had a bad upbringing, he may have a lot of roadwork to do to get on the right path, but that's his job now.
If you keep on treating him like a kid, or talking about him as if he is a kid, he'll never take responsibility. Why should he?!
Look at yesterday, a blank comment with only the person's name got many "red thumbs" Imagine that.
The thing is also maybe the the block of "red spammers" are the illiterate, either Govt. employees or uneducated school kids and have a list of names that they try and match to push the red button.no matter even when the comment is praising certain Govt actions.
Few, if any of them seems capable of responding to comments so the theory of "illiterate" seems to be close. Much like the elected that are "illiterate" (maybe the same)
#15, The biggest problem with that solution is you would have to have a DOC employee to actually go outside and monitor those people. (or any other work program) most have trouble even extracting themselves from the car from the car and waddling to the coffee shop.
Captain. Each red thumb is a badge of honor and a testament that you are on the right track and hitting the raw nerves of the obtuse nabobs who feel threatened by your intelligence.

No, actually it is the duty of businesses to provide goods or services in exchange for money in order to make a profit for its shareholders.
I taught high school here in the CNMI and now I am in the private sector. Based upon the performance and attitude of the majority of the kids I worked with in the schools. I would not hire most of them because to do so would probably spell the demise of my business venture. An entrepreneur seeks to hire a worker, who will do his job, show up on time, all the time (unless of course the person gets sick), be productive and not steal from the company.
Now If a qualified person regardless of where the person is from applies for a job and is able to do the work...then a business owner should hire the person.
As for training. WHAT DO YOU THINK SCHOOLS ARE FOR? You know, Schools, the places where the kids are supposed to learn at, but many treat as a place for socializing and goofing off, then act surprised when they flunk out of the place.
Yes Dora, and just look at the number of red thumbs that statement bought you. I have two theories regarding that.
1) somebody (probably in the administration) has a list of people who they don't like...You, me, Froshman, etc... And that wither they hire somebody to watch the commentators and red thumb those on the list regardless of what is said...
or
2) There really are lots of people here, who for some reason have such backward values regarding common sense and how civilized humans are to behave and we are through the looking glass, in a place where evil is considered good, where up is down, and black is white.
I surely hope it is theory #1, because if it is #2, then we are in big trouble!
Bringing back the draft maybe...The Navy straightened me out! Who knows, it might work for others.
and they just expect to have everything
handed to them (spelled ENTITLEMENT) which they have been taught by their guvmint. The CNMI - a nanny nation!!
