House arrest for woman who fired .223 rifle

Govendo imposed a six-month imprisonment on Ramona Maratita Magofna, all suspended except for 90 days with credit for the one day she already served at the Department of Corrections facility.

Govendo said Magofna’s house arrest will run concurrent with her traffic case. Details of her traffic case were not available.

Magofna “may leave the house for medical purposes only and with her mother as custodian,” the judge said.

Magofna is only allowed to reside in Koblerville or Dandan.

She is also placed under one year supervised probation, and is required to undergo anger management counseling and complete 75 hours community work service for her traffic case.

Magofna’s .223 caliber rifle and its casing will be released to her defense counsel, Joaquin DLG. Torres.

Assistant Attorney General Shelli Neal prosecuted the case.

Magofna will not possess any firearms during her probation period, Govendo ordered.

She must pay court fines of $250 for the criminal case and $750 for the traffic case, a $100 court assessment fee, and a $100 probation fee.

Magofna will have no driving privileges for 70 days and will only drive to and from work during the remaining probation period.

Magofna will submit herself to urinalysis.

On or about May 15, 2009, at around 2:15 a.m., Magofna unlawfully carried a .223 rifle under the influence of alcohol, and fired the weapon eight to 10 times which “unreasonably annoyed and disturbed the peace” of residents in Kagman III, the prosecution said.
