Man gets 14-month jail term for violating supervised release

Vicente A. Sablan was recommended to be incarcerated at a facility in California rather than in Hawaii so he can participate in drug, mental health, and vocational counseling, the court said.

Records showed that Sablan possessed a firearm, committed a local crime, failed to submit truthful written reports to the Federal Probation Office, and failed to complete community service hours.

Sablan was directed to pay a $100 assessment fee and to surrender on Friday to the U.S. Marshals Service.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Beverly McCallum represented the federal government while court-appointed attorney F. Matthew Smith appeared for Sablan.

In her supplemental declaration in support of petition for revocation hearing, Federal Probation Officer Melinda Brunson told the court that they received a call from Clara Sablan Germinaro that Sablan “beat her up” on Feb. 10, 2010.

The Federal Probation Office also received a report, dated Jan. 11, 2010, from the Department of Public Safety that Sablan was suspected of smashing the window of a vehicle in Capital Hill.

“Come out and lead a good, happy and healthful life. Otherwise this is a sad way to exist being in court and in jail all the time on,” Munson told Sablan.

The court encouraged Sablan to take advantage of anger management and other vocational training and counseling offered in federal prison.
