Benji Ngeskebei was brought to Superior Court for his initial appearance and bail hearing yesterday morning.
He is being held on charges of disturbing the peace, criminal trespass, and criminal mischief.
Associate Judge Perry B. Inos required Ngeskebei to post $200 representing 10 percent of the $2,000 bail order.
He was remanded to the custody of the Department of Corrections after the court hearing.
Assistant Attorney General Tiberius Mocanu represented the government while Assistant Public Defender Michael Brown was appointed as Ngebeski’s counsel.
Detective Catherine B. Pangelinan said their office received a call from Trina Lee Sablan who complained of a disturbance at her residence at about 10:02 p.m. on Saturday.
Police said Ngeskebei was driving recklessly while passing in front of Sablan’s residence several times.
Ngeskebei and Sablan are neighbors and relatives, police said.
After he parked his vehicle outside his residence, Ngeskebei shouted cuss words and challenged people to a fight, police said.
Ngeskebei claimed that Sablan owed his mother for the death of the defendant’s brother.
Sablan told police she didn’t know what Ngeskebei was talking about.
Ngeskebei started throwing broken pieces of hollow blocks at Sablan’s driveway, some of which hit and damaged the vehicle of Sablan’s father.
Officer John Cabrera arrived and was met by a woman who claimed to be Ngeskebei’s mother. She told police that her son was already asleep.
The mother “was uncooperative with the officers at the scene,” Pangelinan said.
