HAGÅTÑA (The Guam Daily Post) — Two men were charged in connection to having meth after being pulled over by Guam Police Department officers over the weekend.
On Saturday at about 10:07 p.m., police saw a Toyota Tacoma without a front license plate and a defective license plate lamp. The truck was traveling on Route 28 in Dededo. A traffic stop was conducted, and the driver was identified as John Cushing Viloria Jr., 43, according to a magistrate’s complaint filed in the Superior Court of Guam on Monday.
Officers learned that Viloria did not have a driver’s license and found the vehicle’s registration and insurance were expired.
According to the complaint, as police were speaking with Viloria they shined a light inside the vehicle, which allowed officers to see a “clear medium-sized biggie bag containing white residue on the floorboard by the defendant’s right foot.”
“The officer added that, based upon his experience in drug investigations, biggie bags are commonly used to package methamphetamine,” the complaint stated, adding Viloria was asked to exit the vehicle, and he complied.
Viloria allegedly told police that he had a knife in his pocket and that he would take it out. Viloria also consented to police conducting a pat-down of his person. During the pat-down, a clear resealable small-sized bag containing a white crystallized substance, which appeared to be methamphetamine, was found in Viloria’s back pocket, the complaint stated.
The substance was tested and yielded a presumptive positive result for methamphetamine.
“The defendant told officers that he received the methamphetamine in his pocket from his friend in exchange for helping her move,” the complaint stated.
Viloria was charged with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance as a third-degree felony.
Sunday morning
At about 11 a.m. on Easter Sunday, police stopped another car, a Nissan Sentra, in Dededo after seeing the car’s windshield was cracked, and the driver was not wearing a seat belt.
The officers noticed the vehicle’s registration expired in February 2020. Police identified the driver of the car as Danny Jesus Fejerang, who also had a driver’s license that had expired in January.
According to the magistrate’s complaint, as an officer was speaking with Fejerang, he appeared to be sweating, “fidgety and was talking about a subject matter not relevant to the traffic stop.”
“The officer also noted that the defendant’s face appeared to be extremely sunken which was in contrast to his driver’s license picture, which the officer stated that the defendant’s appearance was indicative of prolonged methamphetamine use,” the complaint stated.
Fejerang was asked to step out of the car and complied and gave police consent to search the vehicle. During the search, officers found a glass pipe with white, frosty residue suspected of being methamphetamine tucked between the front passenger seat and the center console. The substance was tested and yielded a presumptive positive for methamphetamine, according to the complaint.
Fejerang was charged with possession of a Schedule II controlled substance as a third-degree felony.
Police vehicles are seen at the Guam Police Department Dededo precinct Tuesday, March 19, 2024, in Dededo.
