HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — Two men on pretrial release and a woman were accused of dealing drugs after authorities found methamphetamine at an Ordot-Chalan Pago residence.
On Thursday, Guam Police Department and federal task force officers executed a search warrant at a residence in Ordot-Chalan Pago which resulted in the arrest and charging of two men, Jeffrey Villacorta, 56, and Mark James Sablan Quintanilla, 48, and Angie Sablan Quintanilla, a 45-year-old woman.
According to a magistrate’s complaint filed in the Superior Court of Guam, investigators found five clear plastic baggies containing a total of 82 grams of meth, a scale, $1,127 in cash and “packaging material.”
The complaint stated that when Villacorta was found in the bedroom of the residence, he had $100 in cash and empty clear resealable bags in his pocket as well as “several white oval pills” in his pocket, which were identified by an officer as furosemide, a diuretic medication marketed as Lasix.
Villacorta was then advised of his Miranda rights at the residence, and officers conducted a brief interview.
“He indicated he was unsure if he was on probation or not, that the empty baggie ‘was nothing’ and the pills were for his diabetes and that he gets the pills from friends,” Villacorta allegedly told authorities in the interview, according to the complaint.
Villacorta also stated that he owned a blue Honda CR-V that was parked outside the residence, and that he did not live at the Ordot-Chalan Pago home. Villacorta said, according to the complaint, that he visits Mark and Angie Quintanilla at the residence to “fix vehicles and support them after their mother passed away.”
Mark Quintanilla was later found in the Honda outside the residence when officers arrived to execute the search warrant. Upon their arrival, authorities saw Mark Quintanilla wearing a “probation ankle monitor on his right ankle,” the complaint stated.
Angie Quintanilla was located in a bedroom with Villacorta when officers arrived, before the three suspects were further interviewed by GPD.
Interviews
According to the complaint, Villacorta gave a verbal statement where he allegedly said he “was on probation (and) has used methamphetamine since 1987. (Villacorta admitted) to selling drugs, but stated only enough to buy more, since he was an addict and user.”
Villacorta further allegedly admitted to selling “50 plates,” or half-grams, of methamphetamine to buy food and drinks and that he also accepts items “likely stolen,” the complaint stated.
“He stated that he accepts cash and methamphetamine from others to fix cars. He stated the money in his pocket was for car parts,” the complaint stated.
Villacorta also said Mark Quintanilla and Angie Quintanilla were “like family to him” and that he visits the residence to “hang out, (smoke) methamphetamine and fixes cars there,” according to the complaint.
“He stated that a lot of people come by the residence ‘to smoke methamphetamine, play darts and hang out,’ but denied knowing about any sales at the residence,” the complaint stated, confirming Villacorta was arrested at 10:50 a.m. Thursday.
Additionally, a witness, according to the complaint, stated Villacorta lives at the residence.
Mark Quintanilla, in his interview with police, indicated that he lives at the residence with his sister, Angie Quintanilla.
“He told an officer ‘I’m not dealing’ when the officer asked about methamphetamine found in the residence, and denied having any knowledge of drug trafficking activity at the residence. He stated he ‘just helps friends fix vehicles,'” the complaint said, stating officers reported that Mark Quintanilla was dozing off, had bloodshot red eyes and exhibited involuntary movements and twitching of his mouth.
Mark Quintanilla said he was “all right” when asked if he needed medical attention, according to the complaint.
A witness, the complaint stated, reported that “they got methamphetamine to smoke” from Mark Quintanilla hours before.
When Angie Quintanilla was interviewed, police tried to advise her of her Miranda rights via a custodial interrogation form, but Angie Quintanilla “fell asleep while sitting upright,” the complaint said.
“The officer called her name and (Angie Quintanilla) woke up asking where is her lawyer, what (the custodial interrogation form) is and refused to sign on the signature line,” the complaint stated.
Angie Quintanilla appeared to be under the influence of drugs due to her “smacking her mouth while sleeping, downing (falling asleep constantly) (and) appeared to have not slept for days.” She was also provided water but allegedly said she “just wanted to sleep” and was arrested, the complaint stated.
Villacorta and Mark Quintanilla were charged with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance with intent to deliver as a first-degree felony and possession of a Schedule II controlled substance as a third-degree felony. The complaint stated Villacorta and Mark Quintanilla were on pretrial release for felony cases from 2021 and 2023, respectively, so their charges had notices of commission of felony while on felony release.
Angie Quintanilla was charged with two counts of complicity of possession of a Scheduled II controlled substance with intent to deliver as first-degree felonies.
