The Attorney General’s Office filed an information in court charging Macaranas with one count of theft by failure to make required disposition of fund received, one count of theft by deception, and one count of misconduct in public office.
The AGO said Macaranas committed these crimes during the period between Jan. 1 and Nov. 30, 2009.
It added that Macaranas “committed an illegal act under the color of office” as Tinian DPW resident director when he acquired fuel supply worth more than $250 but not over $20,000 using the official DPW purchase account with Tinian Fuel Services Inc.
Associate Judge David Wiseman scheduled a case management conference hearing for Feb. 12.
