THE charges of receiving stolen property and theft by deception filed against Jimmy Joaquin Jr. were dismissed without prejudice by the Superior Court on Oct. 2, 2024.
Dismissed without prejudice means the prosecution can refile the case.
Police have alleged that Joaquin sold stolen laptops from Marianas Health Clinic to several individuals. The stolen laptops were worth $6,300 and were later recovered by the police.
Joaquin, 34, a computer technician who can unlock passwords for laptops and cellphones, identified the individual — Edward Fabros — who broke into Marianas Health Clinic, police said.
As of press time on Thursday evening, no additional information was available regarding Fabros or whether any charges had been filed against him.
Joaquin was represented by Assistant Public Defender Molly Dennert while Assistant Attorney General Heather Barcinas appeared for the government.
Joaquin was among the four defendants who appeared before Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho for a bail hearing on Sept. 24, 2024.
