CHIEF Judge Ramona V. Manglona of the District Court for the NMI has revoked the supervised release of Vickilyn Manglona Teregeyo who admitted using methamphetamine.
At a revocation hearing Friday, Judge Manglona also sentenced Teregeyo to serve a term of three months’ imprisonment, followed by three months of home confinement/detention with electronic location monitoring as special condition of supervised release, followed by 27 months of supervised release.
At the hearing, Teregeyo, through court-appointed attorney Richard Miller, admitted in part and denied in part the allegations in the petition of the U.S. Probation Office.
Miller told the court that his client has started treatment at the Community Guidance Center and is also interested in the HOPE recovery center and the drug court prevention and treatment services.
Judge Manglona remanded Teregeyo to the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service to begin serving her sentence.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Garth Backe appeared for the federal government.
On March 11, 2022, Probation Officer Gregory F. Arriola told the court that Teregeyo had tested presumptive for methamphetamine, amphetamine and THC as verified through a drug test sweat patch applied on Feb. 17, 2022.
Additionally, Arriola said Teregeyo tampered with the drug test sweat patch that was applied on her person on Feb. 11, 2022.
Teregeyo was convicted on Guam for the offense of drug user in possession of firearm and ammunition, but was allowed by the federal court system to serve her probation in the CNMI.
On May 24, 2019, Guam District Court Chief Judge Frances M. Tydingco-Gatewood sentenced Teregeyo to time served, 12 months and 18 days, with a three-year term of supervised release.
Her supervised release was previously set to expire on May 23, 2022.
