THE Department of Public Safety rearrested on Saturday night Guo Hui Pan, less than 24 hours after he was released to a third-party custodian, for threatening the same woman he earlier beat up in Garapan.
Superior Court Associate Judge Perry Inos continued the $50,000 bail set by Associate Judge Kenneth
Govendo, who ordered Pan’s arrest, and remanded the defendant to the custody of the Department of Corrections.
Assistant Public Defender Richard
Miller, who represented Pan, argued that his client never had any contact with Pan as alleged in the police’s declaration of probable
cause.
Assistant Attorney General Matthew Meyer is prosecuting the case.
According to his declaration of probable cause in support of issuance
of an arrest warrant, Detective
Steven A. Castro said Song Yang, 30, called 911 and reported a disturbing the peace incident at about 3:11 p.m., Saturday.
Police said Pan, 45, came at Yang’s workplace at 99 Cents Supermarket in Garapan, walked in, and showed a thumbs-up sign to Yang, and said “just wait,” in Chinese.
Castro said Yang called 911 for assistance, was “teary eyed…and shaking due to her being very afraid of Pan.”
Castro said Yang further expressed
her feelings that she is very afraid of Pan.
Pan was charged with disturbing the peace, obstructing justice, and contempt of court.
He was earlier charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, aggravated assault and battery, assault,
and assault and battery.
Police said Pan, armed with a knife, beat up Yang for causing his termination as a cook.
