Sablan, along with two co-defendants, was arrested for burglarizing a building near Shirley’s Restaurant in Susupe last year. Police recovered skinned copper wires and a bolt cutter.
Wiseman originally sentenced Sablan to 18 months imprisonment, all suspended except one year with credit for eight months and 11 days already served at the Department of Corrections facility.
Sablan is expected to be released from prison on Nov. 15, 2011. He will be placed on two years probation.
He will pay a $500 fine, a $100 court assessment fee, and a probation fee. He will complete 250 hours of community work service.
The court dismissed revocation proceedings in his other copper wire theft case that occurred in 2008.
Chief Prosecutor Michael Ernest represented the government while Assistant Public Defender Richard Miller served as Sablan’s counsel.
On Nov. 15, 2010, police arrested Sablan, Roland R. Kaipat, 30, and Theodore O. Pehnos, 24.
Police recovered a bolt cutter from one of the defendants. Police also found copper wires already skinned and ready for transport in a generator room of a building near Shirley’s Restaurant.
Last April, the Superior Court sentenced Pehnos to six months imprisonment after he pleaded guilty to burglary.
Kaipat has been sentenced to five years imprisonment, all suspended except for three years, with credit of six months and two days time served at the Department of Corrections facility.
He is expected to be released from prison on Nov. 15, 2013.
In 2008, Wiseman sentenced Kaipat to two years imprisonment for burglary and theft at the former La Fiesta Mall in 2007.
