Man on probation for assault re-arrested

Last week, Roberto was brought to court for similar charges he committed against the same victims.

Manglona originally sentenced Roberto to six months imprisonment, all suspended except for 30 days with credit for time already served at the CNMI Department of Corrections facility.

Assistant Attorney General Tiberius Mocanu, who prosecuted the case, moved to dismiss the remaining charges with prejudice.

He also withdrew the motion to revoke probation in a traffic case, saying the prosecution will not pursue a revocation of probation in another criminal case to allow the periods of probation in both cases to expire.

The court granted the prosecution’s motion.

Assistant Public Defender Adam Miles represented Roberto.

Manglona ordered Roberto to pay a $200 fine, a $25 court assessment fee, and a $100 annual probation fee.

Roberto will report to the Community Guidance Center for an evaluation to include anger management and any other issues identified by the counselor.

He will complete 50 hours of community service, and will not have any contact with his victim and her family members for the entire period of probation.

Roberto will also be subjected to random drug testing by the Adult Probation Office.

Roberto was convicted of possession of a controlled substance, and was sentenced in November 2010 to six months in prison, all suspended except for 14 days by the local court.
