The drug deals started from 10 a.m. and ended at 5 p.m. after Omengkar and Richards were nabbed by the CNMI Joint Drug Task Force, which included Customs, on July 15, 2010 at the Garapan Fishing Base.
According to court documents, Omengkar was picked up by a male individual at her house in Koblerville at about 10 a.m. that day after she received a call for a drug deal.
The “ice” was worth $100 and the transaction was held at a market in Chalan Kanoa.
Omengkar received another call for $40 worth of “ice.”
Omengkar met another friend and they combined their money to get more “ice.”
Omengkar, together with Richards and two other individuals, proceeded to Kanat Tabla to get “ice” from the source of one of their companions.
After smoking “ice,” Omengkar told Richards she received a text message for an order of $50 worth of “ice” and the transaction was held at San Jose.
After that deal, Omengkar and Richards met their source in Kanat Tabla to order $100 worth of “ice.”
Right after they took the “ice” from the source, Omengkar said she received a call from a relative who also ordered $100 worth of “ice” and they met in the parking lot of a store in Garapan.
Omengkar told authorities she smoked “ice” with Richards four times including on the day they were arrested.
Prior to her arrest in July 2010, Omengkar said she also made drug deals with certain individuals, some were former police officers.
A police car was used in some of the drug deals, Omengkar said.
The Superior Court released her after she promised to attend all her court hearings following her arrested for contempt early this month.
The court earlier imposed a “no bail” on Omengkar.
She has denied the drug charges and is due for jury trial this November.
The Superior Court has issued a bench warrant against Omengkar who failed to attend her arraignment last week for the charge of contempt.
On Aug. 18, the court allowed the release of Omengkar from custody after she promised to appear in all scheduled hearings.
On Aug. 22, Omengkar and her court-appointed attorney Anthony Long, who was off-island until next year, did not appear for the arraignment.
The court relieved Long and will appoint another defense counsel.
Chief Prosecutor Michael Ernest and Assistant Attorney General Tiberius Mocanu represented the government, and asked for a bench warrant against Omengkar with a $1,000 bail.
Presiding Judge Robert Naraja granted the prosecution’s request, and held it in abeyance until Omengkar’s arraignment today.
